the tone of the market. The sales for the week amount to SIS, ,963 shares, againt 755, ,S3l for the preceding one. This increase in the number of shares sold, however, but imperfectly eX- presses the improvement that has taken place; the more substantial stocks of the list receiving nearly tRe whole of the increased business. There has been more life and activity, and there have been more actual transac- tions by outsiders. at the stock boards during the last week. than for the same length of time m many months. A number of the better class of prop critics show large advances over the prices ruling last week. and bid fair to go 10 much higher figures and to continue active. Dealers who a few weeks ago on the verge of despair, and who sold lheIr holdings and threatened 10 abandon Jhe field, have again become enthusiastic, are mak- ing new investments, and are predict ing an active spring market. Certain ly at the present writing the mining share market In New York, except for Comstock shares, which appar- entity are gong down out of sight, is in a more hopeful state than al any time since the beginning of the eX- citement of last year, which ended so disastrously. Al the present time the conditions are really more favor able than at any time before. The market is not now dependent upon -he state of one mining camp, as it was a year ago, but is supported by widely known properties Of more or less merit in BOdIe and other districts of California, in Nevada. Utah, Ari- zona and Tn various parts of Colorado
 BOdie stocks have been quite active during the week, the majority of the dealings again taking place in Boston Consolidated, which records sales Of 43, 800 shares Opening at Sl.30 on Monday, the stock selling up on the same.day to Sl.J0, the highest price of the week, the total sales for that day amounting t0 9, 400 shares. Since then the stock has tiuctuated between $I.l5 and SI35, closing to-day at S1.I5. There is no special reason for the decline, except that the manipu- latOrs of the deal have probably not yet secured a sufficient quantity Of the stock or succeeded in inducing a sufficient number of bears to make short sales.
 GOodshaw has been very active and irregular, openIng al S5c, selling up to $l 50, declining to S1.10 and clos ing al SEQ on sales Of 10000 shares. The company is now delivering to lLe mill what is reported to be $50 ore, and the stock is likely 10 con- tlnue active.
 Con. Pacific has been quiet, only 2s00 shares being traded in, at S1.05 10 9Sc.
 Bulwer has been quiet but strong, advancing from Sl.35 to Sl.50 on sales of 500 shares.

 Calaveras has been active and ad- yanced from 22c to 24c on sales of 26,200 shares.
 Leadville stocks have been active and steady, and in the case of Little Pittsburg and Little Chef active and strong al an advance. Little Pitts burg records sales of 1850 shares ai from S .45 to S5.13, closing at S4.OO. The rise in lhIs stock is evidently not based upon any decided improve ment in the property, but upon the tact that q certain clique has bought a large block Ct the stock from eX- Senator Chaffee, which rumor places at 100, GOO shares, for which 1t Is now trying to create market.
 Little Chief records sales of 2',JOO shares at from Sjc to S11O, closing at $1.O5.
 Chrysolite has been fairly active at an advance from 8. So to SC. l3 in in he face of the fact that the output has decreased very much of late and that, according tO the most reliable reports, the mine Is running out of ore. Shares sold, 19,3l0.

 Dunkin has been fairly active, but has declined from S1 10 Co Sl.3O, on sales of 2500 shares. The reports from all sources concerning this mine are very favorable, and Sl.3O per share for stock paying 7l5c cents per share dividends per month certainly seems an insignificant figure when stocks like Chrysolite, paying nothing, are selling at S6.
