MINES.—For some days early in the week business in
shares was dull, and there was a preponderance of
sellers in the market ; during the latter part, however,
things improved, and a fair demand sprang up for
shares in several mines, in which improvements and
discoveries were reported. ' Lead appears to be
rising ; tin keeps at a remunerative price ; and by far
the L-rgest business of this week has been in tin mines,
mostly in the west of Cornwall. South Frances shares
have been in good demand, at 350 to 360 ; Bassett, 280
to 285 ; Devon Consols, 450 to 460 ; and these freely
offered. Cook's Kitchen shares have been in good do-
mand, at 3i to 4f ; but few sellers ; North Roskear,
buyers, at 90 to 100 ; the mine is looking much better,
especially in the deep levels.—Ahning Journal of this
day.
