New YORK, August 10. - To-morrow's
| World will say The aggregate of sales
to-day, at the Mining Stock Exchange, was
larger than any day since April 10th,
amounting to III, $50 shares, against 49,
| It's yesterday. The number of stocks now
listed is so great, too, that the last call ex-
tended until within a few moments Of 8
o'clock, and the usual amount of business
was not done after the call. The market
opened firm, and prices continued firm all
the morning. In the afternoon there was a
| slight reaction, and the mornings advance
was lost by some Of the leading stocks, but
the whole list gives evidence of a renewal
of interest on the part of the public. and
orders to buy are much more plentiful.
The Chinese steamer business.
WASHINGTON, August 19.-The Treasury
officials have Investigated the legal stand
ing of the Chinese merchant steamer ex-
pected to arrive in San Francisco shortly,
and will submit their report in a few days.
Under the law Of the United States the
President is authorized to sue his procla-
nation permitting all Chinese vessels to
enter ports of the United States, it being
first shown that no discriminating duty is
levied in China against American vessels.
China charges an entrance of IA cents a
ton every time a foreign vessel enters q
Chinese port. In the United States a ton
mage duty of 80 cents per annum is
charged. This the Chinese vessel would
be obliged to pay, but the President may.
by proclamation, remit the alien tonnage
tax to 500 per ton, and 40 per cent On car
goes. As soon as the facts are before him,
Mr.. Hayes will prepare his proclamation,
which will accord to Chinese vessels the
same privileges as are enjoyed by vessels
OF the maritime countries of Europe.
