MINING MARKET.

WEDNESDAY, Two o'Clock.

Very little business has been transacted to-day in
the market for Mining Shares, and the variations
have not been of an important character. The
following is a report from the nine:3 of Wales
mine :—ln the 55 cross-cutting, both north and
south, the ground is favourable for- driving; the
latter is letting out much water, and in 4 fathoms
from shaft. In the 45 fathom level East, the lode
is full 4 feet wide, and worth £l5 per fathom. In
the 45 West the lode is 3 feet wide, now worth £l5
per fathom, here the lode improved during the past
week. Slope East of rise in back of 45 is worth
£2O per fathom. In the 30 fathom level, both East
and West, we are driving up the side of the lode
and the ground is favourable.—Yesterday the
Trewetha mine sold 23 tons of silver lead ore to
Treffry's Estate at £22 4s. 6d. per ton, and 5 tons
at £ll Os. 6d. per ton. Subjoined are the current
quotations of some of the principal adventures :

MARKETS.—Tids day.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were only moderate, and in but middling condition.
The trade ruled firm at the late advance in prices.
Wo were tolerably well supplied with foreign wheat, in
which a fair average business was concluded, and Mon-
day's improvement was well supported.
Floating cargoes of wheat changed hands at full quota-
tions, but barley and other descriptions of produce afloat
were a slow sale, and were the turn cheaper.
The barley trade ruled quiet on former terms.

Very little disposition was shown to operate in malt ,
prices were unaltered.
In oats the transactions were on a limited scale at late
rates.

Both beans and peas were a slow sale at Monday's fall
in prices.
Flour ruled firm on former terms.
