MINES.—The Mining Share Market has been in a very
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 80 far has been one of the
most important, and since we referred to the shares last
week they have advanced from 3 to 10f, 111, being a rise
of £15,000 in the week. North Minera shares have advanced
from 31 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, 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, 31 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 fm. ; the end has
since improved to £BO per fm., and the shares have con-
tinued in good demand.—Mining Journal of this day.
THE SCOTCH PIG IRON TRADE.—During the past
quarter the production of Scotch pig iron has been curtailed,
there 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
""tiinrahgiallsivtb:
1857, when there were 131 furnaces in blast. The stocks in
warehousekeepers' and makers' 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.
READING HOP PAIR.---A new fair for the sale
of hops was opened at Reading on Wednesday last, and it
continued until Thursday afternoon, when it closed. From
Surrey and Kent there was a very good supply of hops, and
growers from other districts also sent, making the quantity
on sale to number between 1,000 and 1,500 pockets. A.
large quantity from Hampshire and other places was offered
by sample. On both days the business was carried on in a
spirited manner, and the number of sales that took place
amply satisfied those who had been at the expense of send-
ing their produce. For the Farnhams especially the
de-
mand was liberal, and the terms obtained were 80s., 100 s,
of Kent, 635. to 755. ; East Kent,. 1355. to 140 s. A' famous
from Langrish, Mr. Berriman, obtained 120 s. for a
to 112 s. ; country, 745. to 90s. ; Sussex, 565. to 655. • Weald
