eEYsER-MAR1oN ACTIVITY.
Considerable Fluctuation Noticeable
In This Popular Stock.

A great deal of interest was mani
tested in the dealings on the .lo;r of
the Mining Exchange yesterday, and
the week in mining stock circles closed
good and strong.
In the listed securities Ajax moved
a peg upward, while Centennial-Eureka
was firm at the close and registered
advances in the bidding. Pour Aces
was also a favorite ana was pushed
up to 81 cents in the bidding. NAM
moth was also stronger and was in
good demand on rising market. Mer-
cur chronicled advances in the bidding,
and in the offerings established a rev
mark, and during the call me offer to
sell at $780, seller 60 days, created con-
siderable discussion in the pit.
1t was Geyser- Marion, however,
which consumed the most of the al
lotted time for the call, and the fluc-
tuations in this stock were puZZling to
the talent. At the opening Geyser-
Marion made a quotation OF So cents
bid and 81 asked, but it was not long
other, and finally a block of the stock
changed hands at 81 cents, and it was
then believed that lower bids would
land more of this security. On the
contrary, however, holders were stub
born, resulting in the bracing up of
the stock, which sold readily at 921a,
until it was plainly seen that there was
any amount to be had at this figure,
when reaction took place sales being
recorded at 90 and later on at 911a and
finally 81 again, the closing quotation
being 911a bid and 921a asked.
The call of the unlisted stocks was
opened with Chloride Point, which
registered the highest quotation yet
made by this security. The stock was
not at all plentiful, and after renewing
the closing bid of the previous day,
200 shares changed hands at At cents,
and at the close it was wanted at 475a,
with no sellers in the pit. Swansea
recovered lost ground and was in fair
ly good form, while South Swansea was
! a favorite at the figures given below,
! a bid of S1.45 being withdrawn at the
close. Sacramento, While inactive, was
firm. Dalton was lively at rs cents,
and a ready seller.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
