BIEVER MINTNO STOCKS ATTRACTING ATTENTION AGAIN, Sprelat Dispateh to Phe Chteago Tribune, Nrw York, Deo, 12.—To-day has been one of Profound anxiety aniong the large munber of tultung-stock operators, owing to the Hyhtuing= Uko tuetuntions yesterday afternoon of tho fatnoug Hodte stack entted Boston Consolidated, For some time past, negotiations had been cars rled on between tho California management of thila ming and a prominent Now York stock- broking firm with regantto tho latter taking hold of tho stock, In viow of the rapidly-Iniprov= ing condition of tho: mine, The negottitions were practically concluded: about {hroo weeks ago, tho Now York firm undertaking to buy up and tock up all the Moston on tho mar- ket, on condition that tho California managemont surrender ita block of ‘stock, and authorize its being atowed nway in gafeedceposlt vaults hore, ‘This pooling urrangemont had, up to yesterday, been curried out successfully, Tho Californians put in about: THIRTY THOUSAND SHATES, and the pool during the first twelve days af the deal accummlited an equal quantity of ‘stock, at prices ranging from 100 to 150, By this tine, however, public attontion had been dirccted to tho deal, und everybody made a point to buy Hoston, Yostorday week tho stock closed strony, 190 bid,—nnd continued Ita upward course une tillast Wednesday, when, atter mounting tho Indder to 800, it rapidly recoded to 20, recover+ Ang, however, at the closu to 270. thursday and Friday were quict duys, without moro than 10+ cont fluctuations in the stuck; but yesterday lovers of exeltemont were compensated by ng genuing x sensation ag over occurred in tho Now York mining-stock markot, Opening at 280, tho pool brokors, after purchasing 400 or 500 shares, retired, having oxovuted their orders. THRN BEGAN TUE PUN, an ex-Califoraln broker, acting, tt {s undor= stood, for a prominent Stock-Exchange firm hero, offered any part of 5,000 shares of Hoston at 270, 260, and 250, without, disposing of more thin 200shures. ‘Then followed a general stain- pede. Almost alltho brokers, ita well na tho roon-tradera, were loaded up with Boston, which, it bait been predicted, was to touch 2000 vefore tha close of the mouth. Of course, nit those parties sought to unloud at once, with tho inoyitablo consequence of creating a panic in a vory short epace of time. Boston wus offered ato, WITH No nurens, Naturally, under ,these elrcumstances, brokers who bud sold stock of the provious day to tho pool at 270 and over hurried up thole dultvortos; ‘but, when they reached tho officu of tho Stock+ Exchange firm, it happened that, while ono member of tho firm was in tho Board Room, tha other had beon ealled out, so that, for ten min- utos, thore was no one to sign chucks, This naturally added tothe constornation of the bulls ‘on Nostun, and to tha proportionate delight of thoso who hn shorted the stock. On bis return tho office partner fnmedately signod all checks, find, upon these being forthwith certificd nt the bank, tho doltyoring ,brokers tnstencd to the Yoard and . : RALLIED THE MARKET.

Tho shorts bid up for tho atock with tee pool-brokers, usitil, in less than Afteon minutes from the 10 quotation, Boston was 300 bid, with none offering. When, ut2 o'clock, tho ex-Callfornia broker before mentioned ‘entered tho Amertcun Mining Bourd, it was ovident thore ‘was tu be somo PRETTY LIVELY TRADING, the gencral {mpreasion ‘Loing that tho stock would ndyango to 600 on tho call. Relying on tho short Intorest, tho pool, however, bad censod buying, so that, when the Culiforntun commenced offericg a hundrod shares at 300, ho mot with nu response. This omnboldencd him to offer G00 shurea nt 300 ngain. No responac. At®Who disposed of 200 shares, but by this thae TIE MITHRNTO IUMTLANT LONGS had lost courngo, and poured. in thotr offers of stock, Ono broker, thut day admitted to the Hoard, offered any part of 43000 Boston, frat at 250, then at 20, then at 160, and the close of tho day found Boston down to 16, with nny number of wounded on both aldos.. Of course to-morrow is awnited ‘with Intorest by nltand anxiety by many, No one doubts that the two Stock-Exchango firma apparently pitted aguinst euch other in the operation are cach acting In perfect good faith.
