active—indeed, we may add, a very excited—state this
week, and the business transactions have been of a heavier
amount than for many months past. Several improvements
and some important discoveries have taken place. The
discovery in West Trevelyan so far has been one of the
most important, and since wo referred to the shares last
week they have advanced from 3to 10/, 11/, being a rise
of £15,000 in the week. North Minera shares have advanced
from 3/ to 7,8, being a rise of £4,000, owing to a discovery
of a course of ore in Pugh's shaft, worth £7O to £BO per fm.,
at a depth of 30 fms. ; at the meeting, on Friday, a call of
10s per share was made. Wheal Harriett shares have
been in demand, and the price has risen to 11; on
Thursday notice was received of a great improvement in
the 90 east, lode worth 7 tons of copper ore per fm. Pen-
deen, 3 to 31. West Alfred Censols, 25 to 27. North
Downs have also been largely dealt in, and advanced to 13,
14, or a rise of £lO,OOO. in the week ; on Wednesday a tele-
gram was received of a fine improvement in the 40 end east,
worth £5O to £6O, and winze £2O per fm., the shaft, which
is of great importance, is worth £8 per fin. ; the end has
since improved to £BO per fin., and the shares have con-
tinued in good demand.—lfining Journal of this day.
TUE SCOTCH PIG IRON TRADE.—During the past
quarter the production of Scotch pig iron has been curtailed,
here being on the 30th of September 10 furnaces less in
blast than at the beginning of the year. The present num-
ber of furnaces in blast is 122. The returns since June,
1857, have hitherto shown an increase in the stocks, but a
decrease has now to be noted. The shipments and local con-
sumption have absorbed 245,000 tons in the past quarter ;
being an increase of 30,000 tons over the corresponding
period of last year, and of 37,000 over the same period of
1857, when there were 131 furnaces in blast. The stocks in
warehousekeepers' and lskskers' stores are now estimated at
315,000 tons. The malleable iron works land foundries in
the Glasgow district have continued actively employed, and
shipbuilding on a large scale is going on in the various
yards, while there is an increasing demand for all kinds of
machinery.
