SAN Francisco, Dec. II, 1854.
The mining share market has exhibited
considerable vitality this week, and all lead
ing stock are in request, at enhanced rates.
The short interest has been feebly sustained,
owing to the readiness with which sellers OPP
ton contracts were taken, and there are now
more buyers in the market than sellers.
Washoc advices received the past few days
are of n more favorable character than were
anticipated by some. All first-class mines
continue to look extremely well, and the ap-
felt with regard to the roads have
not been realized, and are not likely to be.
Little or no difficulty has, thus far, been met
with in hauling ore to the mills, and the ag-
gregate yield for the current month will pro-
badly exceed that of any previous like period
since June last. These tangible results must
have some influence upon the market, and
will serve to dispel the illusions of those who
were anticipating light receipts of bullion,
and consequent decline in the market value
of all stocks. ...

lateral. In the open market, good, but less
