Yesterday was duh day in the pit
Of the mining exchange, and the bro
llers were videntl- at sea regarding
several of the leading securities, in con-
sequence of which business was light.
and a feeling OF uncertainty pervaded
the atmosphere of the board.
The only transfer of the day of any
consequence was the sale of 80 shares
of Observation-Disclosures at S24.5O, Sheets
selling, while Wooiley was able to fill
the order he has carried for so long.
But little change was noticeable in
Builion-Beck, which has taken a seat
in the background again to wait for
better days. Disqualification was
puzzle, and the buyer as well as the
seller were very cautious, although any
amount Of the stock was wanted at
81 This bid was raised ~ cents at
the close, but no sales were recorded.
Mammoth was weak in the bidding,
and not overly strong in the offerings.
Mercur was firm at the quotations of
the previous day. The feature of the
call, however, was the slump in North
ern Ligh., and it began to look as if a
panic similar to that which broke
down Geyser-Marion was about to
seize the holders of this popular stock.
Starting out at So cents asked, declines
were noted until sales were recorded at
Al and Ala cents, the closing quota
lions being Al cents bid and 40 asked.
In the unlisted stocks the talent run
up against another stump when Chic
ride Point was called, as it was be-
lieved that decline in this stock would
take place. On the contrary, it was
strong, and sold at an advance over
the closing quotations of the previous
day, which caused several of the lead
ing brokers to put their heads to-
gether to inquire the cause. The bal
ance of the unlisted securities were
quiet and inactive.
DEALING IN FUTURES.
Before the opening of the call the
governing board held a meeting and
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved. BY the governing board
of the Salt Lake Mining and Stock EX-

The application of II. P. G. Coates

presented. and he was given the priv

of President Dole of the republic, and
although he has lived here several
years, he has never taken out citizen
