II From the Mercantile Gazette
The mining share market has been sub
iected to violent, fluctuations during the
past year. Until LIST of May last nearly
all leading stocks had been tolerably well
maintained at about the quotations ruling
at the beginning of the year. but at the
former date unfavorable developments in
the character of prominent claim on the
Comstock created panic in the market,
and serious depression took place
throughout the months of May and June
in nearly all claims commonly dealt in. In
July, the panic was renewed, and prices
still further receded, from which a reaction
took place during the month OF August,
and confidence began to be partially re-
stored. Since that time the Comstock
lode has given evidence OF more perman-
ency, and number of mines have mate.
rally improved, increasing their yield of
bullion and also their dividends to stock
holders. Within the past few months the
market has been comparatively steady, ard
no important fluctuations have taken place
in the more prominent shares.
Gould & Curry opened in January,
1864, at $4,000 per foot, receded to $4,000
in April, and to $4,000 in May. A panic
then occurred, owing to the poverty OF
the mine in the lower levels and the re-
duction of the dividends to $50 per foot
and at the close of July the stock fell to
5000. A sudden rise to 81, 600 occurred
in August, dropping, however, to $l,l00
in September, rallying to $l,650 in No
vember, declining to $l,425 in December,
again advancing to $l,52O, and closing
yesterday at about 81 ,4S5, ex-dividend of
S75 per foot paid on the 9th inst. Diyi-
dendS of $75 per foot per month have
been paid since November last, and it is
believed that this amount can be regularly
discussed to stockholders for some time to
come.
Savage was sold in the early part of last
year at $500, but steadily receded to
$4,000 in March, rallyirg to $4,000 in
April, and continuing to decline through
out May, June and July to $3.50; occa-
stoned by suspension of dividends, liti-
CATION with the North Potosi, and other
causes. In August an advance to $1,000
took place, and still further rise to ST.
500 ensued in October. at which time all
adverse litigation was settled, and divi-
dend of $40 per foot was paid; since
then the stock receded to $l,620. rallied
tc SLIPS, and closed at about $l,625.
Dividends of $50 have been regularly
paid for several months past.

uary, February, March and April, at from
$1,000 to $l,7OO per foot-declined to

September 1t fell to $500, advancing to

been made at about $500, which is the
closing rate. One dividend was paid du-
ring the past II months.

and steadily declined during the months
of April, May, June and July to $500,

figure. A first dividend (of $40 per FOOT
was paid by this company on the 9th in
slant.

January and February, declined in April
and May to $685., advancing TO 5000 in
June and $1,000 in July. From August
TO lst December it gradually fell to about
$500, rallied to 800 on the LIST of Janu-

mine has been closed for several months
past, owing to protracted litigation with
the Bajazet Company.
