* (FBOM Olfß OWW OOBBKSPOBDBKT.) Bkeftoit, October 31. Stock Exchange report:— To-day battery re turns total IBOCoz of amalgam contributed by the Globe, No. 8 Dark, Welcome, Big Eiver, Inglewood, and Inkcrman, of whioh the three first represent the contents of the boxes. The yield from the United Alpine and Golden Lead will be known on Monday. Only a small parcel was crushed from the Welcome mine, but the usual high grade of stone Is at once noticeable, and' ab the Inkerman this week's crushing represents the first quartz from tUe new level, and shows a marked improvement upon that last treated from the upper workings. The mine shows well for stone. A better rate per ton is also looked for from the Golden Lead. Tbe share market had a rather depressed condition for the earlier part of the week, but although there was an absence of briskness and buoyancy, some steady business was done in a few lines, doting rates being pretty well up to the same order as those of last week. Alexander Dredging (contributing issue) have had a 'little better inquiry, and sold in small parcels to 4s 4d. Big Bivers have not been much dealt in, and appear at about former quotations. Splendid returns continue to come from this mine. Fiery have an easier tendency, and Gordon. Gallant, and Globe have not been much in demand. Homeward had a little inquiry and had ■ales up to 3s. Hercules show an improvement in price and have had fair business with a much better and firmer feeling in these shares Lord Edward remain with several other linei, with only a demand new and again, and No. 2 Dark appear atashade under last week's quotation. Pandoramoved upward a little, and sold at prioes ranging to Is 8d upou some unexpected development iv preparing for resumption of regular opemtions in the loner workings. Some Alpine soli at 16s 3d, and quotations appear atlast week's rates. November 1.
