Y, Oct. 19 —The stock mar- | ket was anything but active to-day, the saies foot- ing up only 152,474 shares, but this was a raaical | change 1n the temper of speculation and a bullish tone characterizd the dealings throughout. The upward movemen: received its first impetus from | the buoyancy and excitement in the grain mar- Xkets, which influenced the stock market. In addl- | tlon to tils, remewed weakness of sterling ex- | change exercised & favorable influence, as a reduc- | ticn of a full cent on posted es for long and half | acent in demand rates foresbadows gold imports to th's country at an early date, There were several reactions in the stock market Quring the session, owing to the sharp fluctuations in the rates for money, but each deciine bronght in & namber of buying orders, which not only ral- | lied the list but led to a suil higher ranze of | quotations ihan was current before. The rise was equel 10 12@34 per cent and wus due in great | mieasure to the fact that the shorts look at it as a matter of continved strength. The improvement was greatest in the 8hares and the short interest was heavy, such, for ivs.ance, as Sugar, the Grangers, ~Louisyille acd Nashvilie, Westein TUnion, Tobacco, Leather preferred and the South- wes-erns The market left off firm in tone. skow advances of 14@3% per cent, sugar leading.

The best prices of mining stocks yesterday were rather ebove those of Saturday, though thefeeling was weaker in the afternoon. < ‘The Commercial Publishing Company has de- clared a quarteily dividend of 2 per cent, payable now. The Beg. Belcher and Mides Consolidated has levicd an aksessment of 10 cents. R ‘The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company will dpky # monthly dividend of 25 cents per share to- ay. : At the annual meeting of the Consolidated Call- fornia and Virginia yesterday the following direc- toss were elected: Charles H. Fish, NatT. Mes- ser, Charies Hirschteld, 1. Zadig and Thomas F. Fish. Charles H. Fish was elected president T. Messer, vice-president; A. W. Havens, secre- tary, and D, B. Lyman, superintendent. The company bas an overdraft at bank of about §1500, but is preducing considerable bullion, which will more than offset the indebtedness. A brotest from Theodore Fox was read sgainst electing directors by a proxy vote and also a request signed by M. W. Fox and others requesting the directors to bring suit_against the Comstock Mill and Mining Company for the recovery ot ballion e ropria from siimes and tailings. o TP s The annual report of the superintendent states that for the twelye monibs enaing: Eeptember 50 there was extracted from the 1600, 1650 and 1750 levels of the mine 7059 tons and 1430 pounds of ore from which was produced buliion ot the assay value of 821,333 49. of which $108,306 46 was &vld and #108,027 04 was siiver. The coln value of the bulifou was $160,686 72. The ore showed an average yleld of $29 93 per-ton. The superin- tendent reviews a, length (he prospecting and other work_done during the year on the 10600. 3880 and 1750 oot Ivvily of ihe mine, Hefersis so-called burnt district, and the gas troubles therefrom, he says: “un June 9 gas was dis- covered escaping from (he south end of the old stopes on the tenth floor above the 1750 level. This trouble started from come point In the old stope south of our openings, which Was Inaccessibe. In order to stop the inflow of ges we closed the south end of the opeaing from the 1750 level by filling the open slope space from whieh all the ore had been cxtracted with fine Tock and applying enough water 1o saturate and dampen the ground and old timbers throughout this partof the mine. South from the oid L on. Virginia shaft water was turoed into the old drits and crosscuts on the 1500 and 1650 levels. This water has percolated ihrough the ciosed drifts and crosscuts where men-could not go, and has un- doubtedly reached the point where the fire siarted, 85 e have bad no jurther trouble from escaping 88 since June and July. Tne origin of the fire Whence the gas came {s unknown, but I am conviuced, however, that it was caused by giound Pressure.continually crushing aod splintering the siope timbers, cresting on intense heat, which caused thedry timbers to iznite. ““ITie water has risen 1014 feet in the C. and C. shiaft during the past year,and is now up to s Jolnt 9% tect below the -Laft-station floor of the 700 level. “The Sutro tunnel conaection with this shatt s 1014 feet above the 1750 level sill floor.” Referting (o the old stopes from the eighth 10 the twenty-fifth floors above the 1750 level in the northern part of the mine, the superintendent says: “The fillings or ore found within these nm%es have ail been worked with profit. Consid- £erabie oré from these oid stopes remained to be extracted.”” ‘The usual reports from the Comstock contain 1o important news this week. In tne Hale & Norcross mine (Comstockc workings). on the 900 ievel, from No. 1 upraise they worked south on the fourth, fifth and_sixth floors. On the fourth floor the streak is small.
