MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal.)
A considerable change has taken place in our market
during this week, both in the inquiry for shares and
the amount of business transacted, which augurs well
for a more settled state of things than we have latterly
had to remark upon. There has also again been favour-
able news from several new mines lately opened, which
has led to transactions in the shares at large profits to
original holders. Progressive shares have also been
much more in request; and, on the whole, the prospects
of the market are of an encouraging character, the con-
tinuance of which we do not doubt, seeing that the steps
towards a restoration of confidence are gradual, and,
therefore, sound. Dividend mines maintain their posi-
tion, but the transactions are chiefly for permanent in-
vestment.
In the Metal Market-Copper is very firm, and in
good demand. Lead has been extensively dealt in,
without change in price. British Tin is well held, while
the near approach of the Dutch sale tends to check ope-
rations in Foreign, a very small quantity being offared.
The Lisburne Mines have declared a dividend of 201.
per share.
