Mining Stock Review.
Review for the Week ending May 9th.

rial stock market have shown stagnation OF
affairs uncommon at this season Of the year )
but the week past has been dull beyond pre-
cedent. Within that time the Gold Hill
Stock Board and the Peoples Board at Vir-
ginia have suspended operations from the
perfect absence of any business to transact.
The washoe Stock and Exchange Board,
and the Virginia Stock Market hold their
sessions daily, but the number of sales each
day has been extremely small, and in amount
very insignificant. But few stocks have been
either sought after or offered, and those most
" of the lighter sort. There has been but
little disposition to trade. and the daily reports
have presented a wonderfully blank ap-
pearance. The "bids" and casks" have been
widely apart and have presented no criterion
of the estimated value of the stocks named.
We give below the sales reported during the
week ending with yesterdays transactions,
which most uniformly show a depreciation
upon former quotations. Our people are
waiting patiently, Micawber-like, for SONG
thing to turn up, although what that ''some-
thing" is to be we do not exactly know. The
following were all the transactions in the
Territorial Boards during the week:
