The Mining market has been active this week. There
has been a re-action in Wheal Harriett—the mine which
caused the disaster at the last account, when sbares
dropped suddenly from 2/ to U., to the discomfort of
the " bulls," and now they base unexpectedly risen from
1 to 1, la, to to the annoyance of the " bearesrs," who ate
te
said to be rather numerous. Io otherrespects
mark,t presents no novel or striking feliture, and the
buAine3s transact ions have been about the usual average
amount, and mostly confined to good dividend
and progressive mines, mere ipeculations not baying
just now so much attention paid to them. If we
ceuld but ensure a continued rise in the stancard
for copper Gres, and a better price for lead, there
i* little
doubt a very active business would follow in shares; rent
for,
with plenty of money in the market, there is a g
disposition to embark in English mines. Devon Great
Consols keep at 475 to 484. Vale of Towy have the to 18e, 19s. West Basset, 20 to 21 ;at the
meeting the profit on the two months was 4,3111.,
and a dividend of 14e per share (4,2000 was de-
clared. Great Alfred bave continued about 6 to 6R;
the sampling this month is 304 to s, valued at 1,5001,
which will yield a profit. Wheal Grenville shares have
been
largely dealt in, at 34 e to L'6,.
