There was but little activity in the
pit of the mining exchange yesterday
and the leading listed stocks were neg
lected to such an extent that not a sale
in them was chronicled.
The report of the recent strike in the
Ajax did not have the tendency of
booming the stock any and at the close
it was quoted at the figures of Satur-
days call. Bullion Beck was firmly
held and was in good demand, but
buyer and seller could not get together
DAILY and DAILY West were inactive
There was but little inquiry for Ga
lena and Geyser, which were practic-
ally unchanged in the quotations. Mer-
cur was firm at $40 bid and $40
asked. Mammoth developed an up
ward tendency and was strong at 81 30
in the bidding. Geyser- Marion. Onta-
light inquiry, while Utah only held its
own.
Immediately after the call of the
listed securities the application of JOS
eph Bamberger for admission to the
floor OF the exchange as the accredited
representative of Broker Cohen was
taken up and passed upon, and after
upon the ground that Mr.. Ramberger
was a minor and also because of the
fact that Mr.. Cohen had no intention of
dealing actively in mining stocks. Per-
sonally, however, the members were
not opposed to Mr.. Bamberger, who is
a bright young man and chock full of
business, and it was the general ex-
preston that if ne would receive the
backing of his father or of Mr.. Barnett.
he would be allowed the privileges of
the floor.
In the unlisted stocks South Swan
sea was especially strong and was in
good demand at S1.SO and a repetition
of this bid failed to draw out any. more
than 100 shares of this security. Swan.

a single sale and the session was fea-
with the exception that Mercur
made good gains in the bidding and

much change in the quotations. Gey-
ser slumped 10 cents in the offering,

in the bidding. Ajax chronicled frac-
tional gains.
