MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Alining Journal of this day.)
The business done during ins presrut weea is of a
satisfactory average. A. visible seces.2ion of capital has
for soma time been flowing into the British mine market,
cawing :in inn:eased attraction towards mining shares,
which bsgin to assume a sold pnsition in the maids of
the 4as:is:arise public. The nutub,a- 01 dividend mines
paying a high ran; of intero,t (fens less than i 0 per cont.,
many 1.5, and othnrs2s pr cont. psr gonna') throw nearly
all o Me; kinds of ievestsrient into the shade. This portion
of business trau,actions has ben goo:i while the prosper-
tive and speculative undertakings have had their fair share
in the business done. Purchaser, we are glad to perceive
take greatsr psius than heretofose in making due inquiry
before they invest their capital. Several of the recently
formed new 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 sums of money to California, and other
gold regions, meet with only a moderate share of patron-
age-the public probably thinking it safer to adventure
in,Cornwall and Wales than at the antipodes.
In the Metal Mar ket -Copper is in lair demand.
Lead 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 remains unaltered. Tiu-places rather easier, but in
fair demand. Iu Spelter, there are no transactions;
prises nominal.
