sales of mining stocks at the New
 Yorl, boards during the present Weel
 have 5een unusually small, amounting
 to but l,g4 51J shares, and the mar ke
 has rnled dull. The increased ac-
 tiyitv of the previous two weeks
 which seemed 10 hold out faint
 nromise of an early improvement ID
 inc general list. has moi continued
 and fbe market has receded 10 Its for
 mer unsatifactOry state. There Is no
 especial reason to assign for thIs dull
 ness. beyond what has already been
 stated in these letters, further than
 inc fact that the coming election seems
 to absorb almost the entire attention
 of that portion of {" the street" which
 has hitherto devoted its attention to
 mining stocks. As the inning stock
 market has for months been in a nearly
 stagnant condition it has lost for the
 present, owing 10 the interest at-
 fached to the near electoral struggle,
 its powers of attraction for this portion
 of the community, and the bIOkeTs
 have been reduced to the necessity of
 swapping shares with each other. No
 doubt when tho campaign IS over an
 opportunity will be offered to chron-
 icie an increased activity in the ea-
 changes.
 Had if not been for a few of the
 Leadville properties the market for the
 past week would have been almost
 without interest. and of these ChrysO-
 lite still continues Co be the most
 prominent feature. Dispatches of
 Thursday last stated that the air in
 the lower levels of the ChrysOlIte was
 still so hot and the mine was so full Of
 gas that men who attempted to de-
 Scend were driven back, and that for this reason, and on account of the
 great probability of ire sIll existing
 in the mine. the ChrysOlIte. Little
 Chief and Little Pittsburg would re-
 main closed for some days. The stock opened on Monday at S5sl, and after
 fluctuating between Sjla and S7, closed strong to-day aI SGaf. Sales for the week amount tO 70. OSO shares. As 1t has been impossible to work the mine for several weeks. or even to eX- anime II, no reason can be given for its advance other than the desire of the manipulatOrs. The report was induslriOusly circulated, at the be- ginning of the week, that imme- dIately prior to the fire a rich body of ore had been struck. interested parties seeking to convey the impres- sion that the lire had served a purpose and that the stock was cheap al then existing prices Such points as these, however, are not new in the field Of mining speculation. The election of a Board of Directors is to lake place within two weeks, and the indica- tiOns are that the new management control sufficient stock to decide the election.
