A BIG DAY ON CHANGE.
Bears and Bulls Have Lively and
Exciting Time In the Pit.

Exciting Time In the Pit.
The pit and lobby of the mining ex-
change was crowded to overlooking
yesterday and the call occupied an hour
and a half, being an hour longer than
the time required to transact business
on the floor six months ago, which is a
fitting illustration of the growth of the
mining stock business in this city dur
ing the past year and the interest that
is being taken in stock transactions.
The share market was lively and
brisk yesterday and the business trans
acted during the call, in all proba bill
ity, was the largest in the history of
the exchange, the dealings of the hour
opening with sales of Centennial-E u-
reka at figures that would imply a
strong bear movement as far as this
popular stock was concerned, trans
fers being recorded at from S32 to $50.
Bullion Beck exhibited some strength
IS well as gains, considerable sparring
being INDUCED in by Would-be buyers
and sellers before the close. The call
of Four Aces was warmly contested,
only fractional difference dividing the
dealers at the close, 200 shares at 9
cents representing the days transac-
tons in the stock. Geyser- Marion and
Galena found buyers in limited quanti-
ties at regulation quotations, Mammoth
and Mercur being neglected in the way
of transfers. Considerable time was
occupied in the call of Sacramento, the
two elements standing out for conces-
sions, but at last the medium was
reached, 20 cents fixing the quotation,
and at this figure LOO shares changed
hands, while one small lot found a buy
er at II. Northern Light registered
further declines, and in the dealings in
this security during the week there has
not been a day when it was not
good Short the indications being that
it will drop still lower within the next
few days. Silver King was a favorite
and advanced to $19.25 in the bidding
with offerings at $3.50.
The unlisted stocks We're also very
active and number of them were on
the upgrade. Sunbeam figured in this
class and recorded sales ranging from
1874 cents up to 14A. Chloride Point
was not overlooked and was very
strong at figures given below. South
Swansea posted transfer at $1.25 and
more was wanted at this figure. Lit
tie Pittsburg was a ready seller and
was picked up in good sized blocks at
rs and 21a cents. Grand Central was
stationary in the bidding and offer
ings, while Dexter was steady at LIS
bid and $1.50 asked.
