Davis are the other directors. . The mining exchange held no after- noon call during the past week. The suspension was partialy on account of the carnival, and for the further reason, it is said, that it was considered advisable to give the stocks a rest. This latter reason was confirmed by a rule prohibiting curbing after 2 oclock. j ! j , s 1 That the stocks listed on the exis have been overworked apparent, with Ajax as a striking example. During the first three weeks of the present month fully 12b,000 shares of Ajax stock were sold on call, to say nothing of the transactions on the curb, which were frequently sas large as the sales on call. This has been kept up for an indefinite time, and at this rate an equivalent to the total capitalization, 300, 0C0 shares would change hands about twice in three months. Of course these sales have doubtless been restricted to a small percentage of the stock, but the commissions have been enormous (unless a great part of the transactions were wash sales) which enriched the brokers, but have not added materially to either the development or the output of the property. The. recent mawhich chinations of Daly-Wes- t, lowered the price of its shares from $44 to $30, have not at all been conducive to the industry at large, and surely has helped to create a discredit on prices in the East. This reduction was the result of reports of an imaginary lawsuit between that property and the Quncy, so industriously circulated that a joint denial from the managements of the two properties was forthcoming stating that the reports were absolutely without foundation. Such practices are apparently vicious and plainly beyond legitimate business practices. If such practices are allowed to continue without condemnation or some manner of retribution being imposed upon the perpetrators, the mining industry must of necessity suffer and the Innocent will share alike with the Almost guilty in financial loss. simultaneously with the closing of the gambling-hous- e the volume of sales of the exchange began to swell, and it may be that the new and pernicious energy was transferrer change plainly from that source. vice-preside- j Tiger-Poorm- an I - , et . 1800-fo- ot n, vice-preside- nt: ss vice-preside- Following is a summary of the most notable events of the week in the mining world: Negotiations are said to be in progress for the consolidation of a number of Stateline properties. nt; nt; . vice-preside- nt; j Frank E.
