The bears were greatly in evidence
during the call on the floor of the Min
ing Exchange yesterday morning, and
there was hardly a security on the
board but that felt some inconvenience
from their attack; and even the gold
stocks were sighted or rolled in the
dust of the pit.
Anchor maintained its own in the
bidding, and so did Ajax, but both of
these were inactive. Bullion-Beck was
practically ignored. and DAILY and DAILY
West suffered declines in the bidding
as well as in the offerings. Galena and
Geyser were steady at former quota
lions, but failed to arouse any enthu
siasm. Mercur was only given passing
notice, and Mammoth closed at the
same notch at which ii was quoted the
previous call.
The unlisted stocks were a little more
active but the transactions in these
were very light. Grand Central was
called for the first time. and estab
lished a quotation of 90 cents bid and
SLIGO asked. Swansea was held at the
regular figure, but was weak in the
bidding. Northern Light was slaught-
cred and recorded sales at figures much
below the usual quotations. South
Swansea was firm at a slight advance
in the offerings. Crown Point was fairly
active at 16 cents, which is consider
ably below the price at which this stock
has been held for the past month. Lit
tie Pittsburg maintained its own, but
was sluggish.

AFTERNOON Gil.

The afternoon call was a very tame
affair, indeed, and but for the transfer
OF so shares of Bullion-Beck, it would
have been featureless.
As a general thing the quotations of
the morning call were maintained, al
though slight fluctuations were notice
able in some OF the stocks. Anchor
was still wanted at $1.25, and an offer
ing was made at S1.75. Several of the
securities were ignored in the bidding,
and at times ii appeared as if the brok
ers cared little whether school kept"
or not. Mammoth was somewhat sitter
in the bidding. but was offered al the
morning quotation. Mercur was i'm
movable, and Generalization was in the
same class.
The unlisted stocks were sighted. and
but few of them were called up. Swan
sea chronicled advances in the bidding,
but ii experienced a decline in the Of
ferings. Northern Light was more
firmly held. but was inactive. South
Swansea experienced no change, and
was steady at the figures given below.
The business for the week has been
very unsatisfactory. to say the least,
and there has been a general and grad
ual depression in all of the leading Sc
curities. which can only be accounted
for from the fact that several OF the
big companies have passed their regu-
lar dividends for this month.
The transactions of the call were as
follows:

THE PICNIC.
W. W. Ritter returned to the Park
from Silver City. Tintic, on Wednesday,
where, since the shutdown of the Mar
sac mill he had been working in the
Picnic mine, in which he owns sub
stantial interest. Mr.. Ritter states
that the recent discovery on the 375-
foot level of the Picnic has established
beyond peradventure that the property
is of great value. Very little ore is be-
ing extracted. the major part of the
working force being employed in cross
cutting at a different point from where
the pay ore was found. with the object
of finding the foot wall, where. itNis be-

be wondered at that Buck and his
