METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A fair average supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's
market for the time of year. Prime breeds were in fair
request, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade ruled
heavy. The show of sheep was tolerably extensive, and
the mutton trade was in a very inactive state, at Monday's
decline in value. The supply being large, lambs met a dull
inquiry, and late rates were barely supported. We had a
heavy sale for calves, at about stationary prices. The
supply was good. Pigs and milch cows were dull, but not
cheaper, •,

COPPER MINES OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The
copper mines. of South Australia are an admitted and a
great fact. ,Tha mines already. opened and in progress of
development Which produce ores .of /ouch extraordinary
high percentage in the yield of copper are solely confinsd
to the northern districts of the colony, being all situated
north of the town of Adelaide. The principal are the Burra
Burra, Kapunda, Chambers, North Rhine, and Appealina.
As a practical demonstration of these remarkable results,
and of the peculiar richness of the ore, a block of malachite
and coppeE ore has been forwarded from Chambers's mine,
and is now deposited at the London offices of the North
Rhine Milting Company. It is a sample of great interest,
as well as value. Its weight is about 10 cwt., and the
yield estimated at 70 per cent. of metallic copper. We be-
lieve that laeither so large nor so rich a block of ore has
ever before been seen in this-country.—Mining• journal)
