the Mining Stock Exchange.

Yesterday was day OF sensations on
the floor of the stock exchange, and
wild scenes were enacted in the pit DUR
ing the morning CALL which occupied
two hours and ten minutes, every mo-
ment of which witnessed a hot scrin-
mage for stocks on the part of the
dealers.
Ajax sold at the opening at so cents.
Four Aces tok a squirt and touched 80
and SO cents in the bidding before the
close. Geyser- Marion caused consider
able connection during the call and en-
gagged in some heavy dealings, for i'm
mediate as well as for future delivery.
Galena sold at an advance, and so did
Mammoth, Lower Mammoth suffering
losses, but closing strong. Northern
Light enjoyed slight advances and was
favorite at the figures given below,
Buckeye soaring skyward with sales
to its credit at and 61s cents. Utah
found a buyer at IS cents, Columbia
moving steadily upward, with its shares
changing hands at % cents. Dalton
threw the brokers into a perfect furore,
and during the call of this Marysvale
stock pandemonium reigned in the pit
At the opening the stock sold at IL
cents, but before the close sales were
recorded at 31ls cents, many thousands
floating around during the call, at quo
tations published below. Dexter was
quite strong. and was a ready Seller
while Eagle & Blue Bell, asking no
odds, was in earnest demand at figures
ranging from S1.95 to 81. Joe Bowers
opened strong, but weakened a little
before the close. Joe Bowers Extension
made its first appearance on the board
and found friends at once, sales being
posted at 10%4 and II cents. Omaha
was a seller and so was Swansea and
South Swansea, Star Con. being trans
fered on a steadily rising market. Rab-
bits Foot sold at an advance; Valeo
