NEW York, May 27,
The Tribune yesterday said: 1t has been ex-
pected generally that the adoption of the new
Constitution in California would cause the
removal Of many mining companies from that
State. This result has not been reached yet
George Satterlee President of the Mining Stock
Exchange, said, recently, that there had been
no official removals to this city in consequence
OF the election in California. Several companies
had come here, but they had resolved to move
some time before the adoption of the new Con.
stitution. He thought, however, that other
companies would come here. The chief effect
of the new Constitution would be the formation
OF new companies here which would otherwise
have started in California.
The Sun, on the same subject, says The min
ing brokers have come into strong prominence.
The commissions Of some Of them averaged
during the last two weeks, as high as $500 per
day. Keeping in view the fact that instead of
the rate Of $12.60, the ruling rate in regular
stock transactions Of the Stock Exchange min
ing shares are taxed only at the rate of from 81
to IS commission per hundred, the above fg-
ures appear formidable. The spectators of the
weaker sex seem to be particularly fond of min
ing, and the sudden start Of mining securities
is attributable to many causes. The prices OF
the mineral stock list are already too high. The
commission upon them is large and profits slow.
All apprehension concerning the influence of
the California Constitution has been discounted,
and the unexpected leap of some of these secur.
new courage into speculative minds.
