Although the aggregate Of sales made
during the past week has not been
large the new year opened with a feel
ing among brokers that the market
shows indications Of improvement.
Stocks were in better tone, generally
speaking, yet many of them hans
around bedrock prices, while some
have been in a stare of feVerishneSS-
DAILY West has fluctuated considerably
during the week. The announcement
Of the consummation Of the sale Of the
A. 600 shares of stock owned by the
Ivanhoe Mining company, which is
the Haggin- Hearst crowd, has fur
nished food for considerable specuia-
ton. Some brokers and mining men
believe the stock viii stiffen up and
make some marked advances, while
others have taken the opposite view
Of the situation. For that reason the
market for that security has been I'M
certain There is no reason to doubt,
however that conditions viii RICH.
themselves and that the stock viii set
tie down to a more uniform price, con-
siderably above the present quotations.
The output Of the mine will be large
this year and there is no reason why
the mine cannot pay regular divi-
dend Of at least 20 cents a share every
month.
May Day has been on the upgrade
since the beginning Of the week. The
stock has been down to q half dollar
and below. but during the week it ad-
vanced to above so cents. There are
two reasons given for the advance
one is, the new equipment for the mine
is nearly all in place and the man
agement has given the assurance that
as soon as everything is in order the
mine will commence a new era, III It's
history, that it viii begin steady ship
mentS Of ore before the 1St Of FebTU-
airy. Being located close to the Uncle
Sam mine, well informed mining men
say its chances Of becoming as fOrmid-
able a producer as that mine are great.
The Uncle Sam produced over $3.50, GOO
net in 1899. Some say the stock is cheap
at its present figures. Another reason
for the last weeks rise is. because GER
tain brokers who sold short on the
stock some time ago have been caleb
upon to cover.
Lower Mammoth has maintained
steady prices during the week. The
stock seems to be an attraction for
outside buyers, although there have
been no sensational discoveries Of ore
reported that can be substantiated-
South Swansea has also been on the
improve from the beginning of the
week and a pleasing feature OF the stu
alton Is that it has recOuPed its Losses
and closed selling at about the figures
it commanded before the institution of
the Four Aces suit.
Eagle & Blue Bell was in demand
and maintained steady prices.
No improvement was made in North
ern Light or Sacramento. Star Con-
solidated made no gains, while Chloride
Point dropped down to the lowest fig
ures in the history Of the mine. The
small prospective" stocks, such as Ben
Butler, Bunker Hill and Boston & De
Lamar, were active during the week,
but showed no special improvement
A strike Of copper in the Joe Bowers
Extension had an invigorating effect
on the stock of that company, which
advanced several points; the stock was
weaker yesterday again.
The sales reported on the stock ex-
change were as follows.

Of primitive people, arising spon-

The mischief which false ferns OF

This is the ambition to pose as a fine

But for all that, there are glimmer-
