| millions in gold dust

MINING NEws.--The news from all the mining regions
is of the most encouraging character regards the
amount Of gold which will be taken out The dry dig
gngs will be most successfully worked during the win
ter, and the rain will be likely TO present little obstacle
| to working the quartz mines.
Many companies preparing to work quartz mines
with improved machinery, and shall expect to hear
heavy yield from those mines. Supplies being rap
idly sent forward and there seems 10 be well founded
10 suppose that less work will be done through
| the winter than the past summer.
Destructive FIREs-On the 10Th OF September Ma

lapse of only nine days since the previous fire. The
flames were first seen rising from the rear part Of the

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENcE-REvIEw OF THE MAR.
KET-Since last steamer good many goods have been
sold, but sellers being anxious 10 realize no important
change in the most OF articles can be noted
Boots and shoes-We perfectly satisfied il not one
package should arrive for the next twelve months, the
interest of both shippers and the trade generally would
be promoted.
Hardware is only few articles that are scarce
dull and abundant
Liquors The stock has materially increased and the
lower grades very plenty
Lumber--Tbere has been more hrmness in the market
and prices pretty steady. .
Metals only sell wanting, and any great increase 6I
stock would cause a decline.
Provisions have improved materially, and this
may better feeling in pork but the stock OF pork
is so heavy and the demand light that il would take
more than year to clear the market Shippers should
take that the mining districts hed
rally kept by persons from France who but little pork
