MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
Tho business done during the presrnt week is of a
satisfactory average. A visible secession of capital has
for some time been flowing into the British mice market,
causieg an increased attraction towards mining shares,
which begin to as.ume a sold position in the wnids of
the specuiative public. The number of dividend mines
paying a high rate of interest (few less than 10 per cent.,
many 15, and others 25 per cent, per annum) throw nearly
all other kinds of investment into the shade. This portion
of busiresstrans.actions has been good while the prospec-
tive and speculative undertakings have had their fair share
in the business done. Purchasers, we are glad to perceive,
take greater pains than heretofose in making due inquiry
before they invest their capital. Seieral of the recently
formed now speculations, which had run to unwarrant-
able premiums, have found their level, and from the
tendency of prices downward, few purchasers are to be
found for them at any price; whilst the new schemes for
sending large stuns of moaey to California, and other
gold regions, meet with only a moderate share of patron-
re-the public probably thinking it safer to adventure
in Cornwall and Wales than at the antipodes.
In the Metal Market-Copper is in fair demand.
Lsai continues very heavy. Foreign Tin, in the early
part of the week, had a downward tendency, in con-
sequence of a forced sale; but the market subse-
quently rallied, and is now tolerably buoyant. English
Tin reseal:as unaltered. Tin-plates rather easier, but in
fair demised. In Spelttr, there are no transactions;
ii. 1.58 nominal.

dollars, buyers at 4a Oil per oz. Bar silver containing
