An increased activity in the Thames sharemarket has been perceptible during the last day or two, but only in the case of approved stock. The Caledonian, of course, heads the list, but, notwithstanding the enormous finds of specimens, buying prices have not advanced beyond 100?. This to me, however, seeni3 but a slight lull preceding another lise ; for in the event of the richness of the mine continuing— and of that there is little doubt— prices must touch a figure very far in advance of preseut rates. All Nations have j taken a decided stride to the fore, conse. quent as much upon the generally excellent condition of the mine as on account of the rich stone taken out of the shot of gold in the Inverness leader during the last day or two. Scrip are now quoted at 71. 10s to 8?., vrith no buyers at the larger figure that I have heard of. There has been a run upon Nonpareils to-day, very good news coming from the mine being to hand ; Zl. and 31. 5s have been freely offered, but sellers arc holding back, and do not seem inclined to quit at less than Zl. 10s ; a few transactions, however, took place at SI. Unas are advancing • if the result of the fortnightly cleaning up to-morrow comes up to anticipations, they will stand at from 11. to 255 ; holders are now i asking 11, , whilst buyers are offering from 17s to 18s. Waitematas hare been quitted to-day at 19a, and are to be had in plenty for U. A little business has been done in Cures at 6s, and in Otagos at from 15s to 16s. Red Queens are quoted at 2s 6d, Junctions 21,, and Belfasts at 27s to 28s, with many inquiries. — [Thames Correspondent. ]
