MINEB.--The mining share market has been charac-
terised this week by great activity and firmness. Money
is becoming more abundant, as we were enabled last
week to state, from good authority, that it would.
Copper is up 1,1. per lb., in consequence of the increase
in the standard for ores. Tin is at a good price, and
lead, although dull at present, will, we hope, advance
before long. Combined with these circumstances, many
improvements have taken place in Cornish mines, causing
a considerable rise in shares, and enabling holders to sell
out at large profits, and reinvest in other good specula-
tions, likely ere long to lead to equally good results.—
