Mammoth and Northern Light were
the favorites in the pit of the Mining
Exchange during yesterday morning s
call, and these securities were ready
sellers at the quotations of the call of
the previous day.
Anchor scored an advance in the
bidding, but none of the stock was Of
fered. Ajax was in good demand and
chronicled gains in the bids as well as
in the offerings, but was inactive in the
way of sales. Bullion-Beck was firmly
r held. but in the bidding it failed to
touch the mark reached by it the day
before DAILY and DAILY West nave been
practically ignored of late. DAILY has
suffered a gradual decline and there is
seemingly but little demand for this
security. Daily West, on the contrary,
mas been strong in the offerings, but
brokers appear on the floor day after
day without orders for the purchase of
the stock. Geyser and Gaiena were
quiet AT former figures. Mercur drew
out but little inquiry, and in the bid
|, ding was weak, but in the offerings
there was no falling off. Mammoth
was the only active security among
the listed stocks, and made transfers
at S1.55. Geyser- Marion and Utah were
unchanged.
But slight attention was paid to the
unlisted stocks and they received but
scant recognition at the hands of buy
ers Homestake and Shoebridge Bo-
nanza were both called, but were
passed without making any sales.
Swansea registered some gains in the
bidding, but in the holding declines
were noted South Swansea was in
active, and at the close difference
of 10 cents a snare stood between buyer
and seller. Northern Light was in good
! demand, but at a slight decline under
the closing quotation of the previous

both in the bidding and asking.
