Brokers, as well as their clients, express dissatisfaction over the condition of affairs brought about by the exchange vacation, as it Is extremely difficult to determine market values without a peripatetic canvass of the brokers offices. Even then he vie vs of brokers are widely divergent, one stock this week having been quoted all the way from 10 cents to 75 cents on the same day. For these reasons, and others, there will be general rejoicing when the exchange resumes business, although some reforms in its methods are strongly advocated and will probably be brought about. As noted above, the market shows a tendency to improve and the low prices that have prevailed have brought out buying orders, as anticipated, and these in turn have strengthened the market. While there will be no great activity this month, a gradual recovery may be reasonably expected, to be followed by a marked revival next month. Development work is now proceeding on so extensive a scale at the mines that the prices of many stocks are certain to be affected by the seasons operations. This will stimulate the interest of speculators and result in greater activity. of the Ajax, as usual, has been one fair-size- d some and stocks, strong blocks have changed hands at 85 cents.

If the deal fails, the stockholders will be none the poorer, as those familiar with the mines great resources express the belief that it could pay $5 per month in dividends were production pushed, and do not doubt but it will yield several times three million dollars in profits. The dividends already exceed the capital stock by $240,000. East Golden Gate has been offered during the week at from 9 to 15 cents, with 5 to 8 cents bid, but the offerings and the demand are limited. There was interest of one or twro stockholders are not likely to become prime favorites with the investing public. Sunshine is one of the very strong stocks and sold as high as $2.75, although the close wras slightly lower. There are very light offerings under $3, and no great amount of the stock on the market at any price. Silver King is still held at figures far above the bids. While the buyers are gradually raising their figures, they cannot keep pace with the holders. The monthly dividend of 25 cents per share w7as paid on the 7th, which raises the total to $712,500, and hardly a commencement has been made on the ore bodies. Sioux Consolidated and Utah were inactive and unchanged. There has been considerable trading in the unlisted stocks and some of the cheaper class have gone to pieces.

Swansea has been offered freely, with rather light bidding, but the stock has suffered no further losses. South Swansea is one of the few stocks that has made gains during the week. Little Pittsburg is offered in large blocks at 22 cents. Buckeye and Emerald have about held their owrn and Rover can be had at lowrer prices. The most active of the unlisted stocks little demand for Eagle, which is held at 10 cents. Four Aces show's no improvement, being held at a shade below 25 cents, with no bids above 20. Horn Silver has slumped, owing to the passing of the quarterly dividend, which was expected to be paid last month. The output continues heavy; the property is in first-clashape, and there seems to be no reason why dividends should not be resumed in the near future. Mammoth has been a shade weaker, in the absence of buying orders, but it still commands a good price. Some people look for an extra dividend this month, but the management has given ruled about as follows no encouragement to such a belief. sachusetts Governor sat impressively Mercur has been in the hands of the bulls during the last few days and the td industrious circulation of rumors of a p. sale of the property at a million and a a half sent the stock up several points.
