However, the latest news from Home is very encouraging, and no doubt the reflex will soon be apparent here.

We don't mean to fay that all our mines are El Dorados, but we do say that we have a good number that only require to be developed to pay steady dividends. The payment of the £1,000 deposit to the Directors of the Alburnia Gold Mining Company, on account of the purchase of that property, has given satisfaction, and may be accepted as •' evidence of the confidence of Home speculators in our mine*. Bank and Insurance shares have been rather easier this month, there being more sellers than buyers in the market.
