(Prom the Mining Journal of this day.)

The mining market has not exhibited any new or par-
ticular feature this week, and the business transacted
has been of limited amount. Purely speculative shares,
being still pressed for sate, are very flat, and few buyers
to be found. South Tamara have been in good request,
at 81. ss. to 81. 101., being a rise of 13,000/ron the mine
in a fortnight, something very considerable when the
dullness of the times is considered ; the richness of the
ores for silver, and the large quantities now being raised,
render this one of the richest silver-lead mines in the
kingdom, whilst the management is such as to inspire
the greatest confidence.
In the Metal Market, the general trade is in animated
condition. Copper, Lead, and Tin, fully support the
quotations, notwithstanding the drop made by the vari-
ous smelting companies, under the plea of tightness in
the money market.—But for the forced sales of Straits
Tin, the general appearance of trade has an upward
tendency, particularly in the shipment of Tin Plates.—
The stock of Scotch Pig-iron is becoming so much re-
duced that an enhanced price is looked forward to with
confidence on the part of holders, from 795. 6d. to 80s.
being about the present mark. The demand for Staf-
fordshire Pig is considerably beyond the present ave-
nge make, and a rise in the price seems more than
likely.
In the Bullion Market,—Mexican and South Ameri-
can dollars, ss. OAd. per oz. Bar silver containing gold,
all gold above 5 grains in the pound to be paid for,
ss. 2d. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold,
55. lid. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz.
standard.

Although on Monday last there appeared an upward
tendency i❑ the more accredited descriptions of the Gold
Mining Shares, yet this movement has not continued,
and the market remains in the same inert state as noticed
for a long period past. The only descriptions of stock
which are supported being Agua Fria and Quartz
Rock. Great dissatisfaction is expressed by the share-
holders in the Anglo-Californian Company at the re-
peated excuses put forward by Sir H. Huntley ; he has
had, no doubt, many difficulties to contend with, but
probably the-e numerous disasters and fruitless apologies
would have not been so rife had a competent mining
manager been at the head of affairs. This is the more
potent, as the accounts from California show that where
native companies are at work success is attainable.
