There is no perceptible change in the mining market.
Shares in general are flat, whilst most of the calling stock°
are unsaleable, except at mere nominal prices. South Cara-
don are 'quoted 2801. to 2901.; Trelawny, 441. to 461.; Swath
Tamar, 91. 15s. to 101. 55.; North Robert, 9/. 15s. to 111.
North Trelawny, 61. 15s. to 71. ; Alfred Consols, 221., 22/.
10s., to 231.; South Frances, 2501. to 2601.; Miller, 8004. to
8201.; North Pool, 1501.; Trumpet, 1301. to 1351.; Trehane,
121.; Cijah and Wentworth, 10/. 103. We referred lot

have been taken up at par (11. per share).
During the week, shares have changed hands in the

There is still no improvement to be noticed in the
Gold Mining Share Market, and, if possible', these seen'

Agua Frias are considerably weaker, while, nearly wit`
out exception, the other descriptions of stock are scarcely
enquired after. The An 10-Californian Gold Mill
