MINING STOCK MARKET.
Weeks Trading Has Been Light and
Market Weak

The week on the mining exchange
closed yesterday with the sale of 8, $50
shares Of stock for Sc. l66I5. the totals for
the six days being 152,721 shares and
$l29.S69.62. Disturbances in the eastern
money market. the weakness of silver
and the resultant lack of buying orders
has had a depressing effect on most or
the stocks, and business has been CORE
spondingly light. What the future has
in store no one seems to know and until
something happens to restore confidence
there is little likelihood that any real life
will be infused into the market.
Aside from the furry in Daly-West
early in the week. when the price was
battered down from about $41-50 to 1864
in a day. no startling changes have been
wrung in the active. list of stocks unless
the performances of DAILY come under
that heading. On Monday it sold up from
$3.50 TO SAILS. and while it has been strong
all week, comparatively speaking, the
close finds il a few cents under Mon
day s. opening sale figure.
Consolidated Mercur. which has been in
the dumps so long, has shown UP il. very
good form during the week, sales having
been made all the way up from Size to
81 %. Sacramento is also stronger, but
the balance OF the list has had a hard
struggle to maintain anything like its
own.
No great slumps have occurred, how
ever, and nothing has been heard from
the mines that would, warrant a decline
IN any one of the stocks which are daily
called. The record of final quotations
and the list of sales made during the
single call yesterday is as follows:
