 Nrw YORK. December 4.-Sales al
 the mining boards during the present
 week have been considerably less than
 ,be average amounting in all to but
 G3g 1g2 shares, and the market for the
 most part has been dull. The trans
 ac1jons al the New York board show
 T large falling of from the usual sy-
 craze; Is very probable, however,
 that an equal amount of trading has
 been done by the outside public as has
 of late taken place in the same length
 of time. The deaths of two prominent
 mining men. Geo. B. Robinson and
 H. c. Bidwell, had depressing effect for time upon the stocks Tn which they had been particularly interested, and in fact upon the whole market. Green Mountain, Cherokee, Rising Sun and Gold Stripe, of which Col.
 Bjdwell was President, were raided as soon as his death became known,
 but have since then recovered and close firm al about the opening prices.
 The highness of the money market has checked speculation To some eX- lent. vel a few of the stocks have been active and mark an advance. While the outside public are still paying more attention tO outside properties than 10 listed ones, there are encourag- inr indications of a more general speculation in the near future. As certain of the properties which are showing good developments are from time 10 time made attractive by ire duent fluctuations they will invite outside orders, and new blood will thus be infused into the market. While no general boom is expected for mining stocks there is an almost universal feeling that the coming sea son will witness a largely increased activity and profitable advances in this species of securities.
