ACTIVITY IN STOCKS.
Another Big Day In the Pit of the
Mining Exchange.

AA-ASA-N~AASC-
The call of the mining exchange yes
tardav was full of sensational features,
the hears being in the ascendancy
when several of the favorites of the
nreyious week were presented to the
brokers. while a number of new aspir-
ants for public favor made their ap
pearance on the board.
The listed stocks transacted a large
amount of business, dividend-paying as
we'll as investment and speculative
ebaras being in demand, the first to
chronicle a sale being Ajax, which
changed hands at an advance over the
closing bidding quotations of Satur-
dsv last. Four Aces was trotted out as
= w,inner. but the bears took the pole
in the race and this prime favorite of
less than a week ago lost quite heavily,
sales being posted as low as 20 cents,
and from this figure up to 23$z cents, at
which quotation the closing sale was
recorded. GeySer- Marion precipitated
ouite a. spirited contest between buyers
md sellers. the transfers registered
stock was higher and firmer than during
the previous week. Mammoth also felt
fbe stimulating effect of an active mar
lret sales being posted at steadily adj
vancjng quotations, the October divi-
dend on several hundred shares of the
stock being sold at Sz-oO on the 100
shares. Mercur, while slumpy, was ac-
five and helped to swell the list of
transfers. while Sacramento retained
its popularity and was a dealer.
Lever Mammoth took the lead in the
unlisted stocks in the way of sales,
ard this security caused great commo-
fion in the pit before the brokers went
raying mad on Sunbeam, which readily
changed hands at rapidly advancing
figures. Joe Bowers was rather tame
and took a back seat as far as excite
nent went, but it was Golden Eagle
which furnished the greatest sensation
