NEW YORK MINING EXCHANGE.


New YORK, August l3.-The Posts finan-
cial article says:-Brokers ana operators in
mining stocks have, during this season of de-
preston, been looking forward to the ap-
preaching autumn to bring about a renewal
of last years activity, but careful enquiry at
various sources of information furnish no
evidence of any immediate change in the
present state of affairs. The stock exchanges
continue to retain upon their lists a lot of
worthless stocks, which are being tossed and
handled about at prices changing from five to
eight cents per ~share.-hardly the cost of
p%rinting-the effect of which is to deter the
owners of noted properties from listing their
mines in such company. At the banks prom.
inently identified with the mining interests
very little is being done and no faith is given
to the prospect of raising the market. The
Bank of California is doing little in buying
and selling or advancing call loans on stocks
on the San Francisco and New York cX-
change. The Mining Trust Co. tinds its
principal and most profitable occupation in
clearing stocks dealt in the American En-
change here, but is making no loans nor re-
ceiving any deposits.

Why is a vain young lady like a confirmed

Indiana. The Democratic candidate has
been assessed $500.
Is it because her own lover proved so I'M
sympathetic as husband that the mother looks
with disfavor upon her daughters ardent adj

BILE that any other mortal should equal in
all husbandly virtues the darling man whose
name she bears?

Indians are on the Mexican side of the river,
