STOCK QUOTATIONS.
What Mr.. Pollock Has to Say in
Relation to the Market.

James A. Pollock will say in his weekly
mining share market letter under date of
September 6, 1895:
The mining stock market this week was
not especially active, in fact there was
every evidence of listlessness and a gem
eral Discrimination to trade. Operators
seemed TO be sizing the market and
waiting for something unusual to turn
up to start the movement, which all ex-
Dect but desire to see in full motion be-
fore taking part in it.
The stock of silver is reported to be
extremely small, and I am of the opin-
ion that quotations are to be advanced
and from natural causes. There certainly
is a large and varied interest being taken
in all mining products. Gold is at the
head and will ever remain so, but to it,
of late, has been joined copper, due to
increased consumption, and following
copper in due turn and in like manner
will come the manufacturers demand for
lead, and then in due course will come
in favor, the much despised white metal.
The silver interest is not dead by any
means. We are on the eve of an advanc-
ing market in all commercial products
and a general industrial expansion, and
thes factors will enthuse men until values
will be carried to a very high point. Sill
yer will come in for its share, and the
silver stocks will appreciate correspond
ingly.
There is no trading in Ajax, and there
will be none until the assessment notice
is officially published. For the benefit of
the doubling, 1 have it on reliable au-
thority that the levy will be cents per
share The mine is in excellent condi-
ton and the future of the property most
promising. Alliance stock has been quiet
of late, and there are no new develop
ments worthy of note. There is nothing
to be said in regard to Anchor. Bullion
Beck is steady but quiet. There was no
