Wheat opened_slightly higher than yesterday's close, but the advance proved of short duration, Selling out of a few lines imparted weakness to the market. Northwestern receipis are disap- pointing to holders, showing a large increase as compared with those of iast year at this time. Liverpool fu:ures' were depressed, as w French markets. ~About the only conso'ation bulls found was in theway of heavy shipments. “Ihis fact appeared of very slight importance.

Frelght rates are quoted firm at 123 6d 10 128 0d from Newcastle, with & good tonnage demand.

Trading continued 1ight in mining stocks and orices were slightiy lower as 2 rule. The Confidence, Challenge Cousolidated and Consolidated Imperial west crosscut 1 from the surtace tunnel is out 1200 feet, having been ad- vanced 20 feet during the week: te face is n por- phyry. The faceof this driftis nowat a point where they had hoped to encounter the downward extension of the large vein that crops out on the surface. A slight change in the angle, however, might cause the vein to siraighten. In that case they would have to go some distance further than hey at first figored on. The face of this drift con- tinues in veln porohyry of a favorable character. Some years ago the Kentuck Mining Company ran a west drift on the north line of thefr claim 200 feet deeper than the present Confidence, Challenge Consotidatea and Con:olidated Imperial west crosscur, and cat the vein, but never prospected it. The Crown Polat, Kentuck and Yellow Jucket companies are now repiiring thisdrift, with a view 01 thotoughly exploring the west vein at that point. 'No ore was taken from the Confidence mine dur- ing the pdst week. st crosscut from the raise on the fourth floor, 63 feet above the surface tun- ne , is out 50 feet,"having been advauced 7 feet during the week: the face is in quartz giving low assays. The yield of the Overman mine for the past week amounted to ten carioads of ore, the average as- say value of which was $43 52 per ton. The ore came from the north drift on the 900 Jevel. There 18 no change in the condition of the mine. They shipped 130 tons and 350 pounds of accumulated ore to the Brunswick mill. Afier thres postponements of the date of delin- quency of the assessment of 6 cents per share on twe capital stocx of the Henrirtta Mining Com- pany, the directors have finaliy rescinded the as sessment. The Pacific Woodenware and Cooperage Com- pany of this Clty proposes to diminisn fts capital stock from $151,0.0 to $75,000, divided 1nto 6000 shares of §12 £0 each, and & special meeting of stockho'ders bas been called for July 15 to autho - ize the change.
