There have heen no startling events in connection with developmeuts of the mines this week, so that the stock market has run along smoothly and evenly. Still it lacks animation, as it has for many months past, and some persons are of the opinion that stock speculation will never be what they used to he. The market mnst depend more than ever on actual ore developments. Wild-cat and unproductive mines are at a discount, and people will not invest in the stocks of mines in which there is a suspicion of johhery or speculation. The time has gone by when the mere listing of a stock in the Board insured its sale. People are too short of money to put it exclusively with anythiug that comes along. They buy stocks more for an investment than they used to, and are not hy any means so reckless as they were a year ago. This is really an encouraging featuro rather than otherwise, <A spirit of mere speculation is to be deplored; hut when men mean to legitimately go into mining as a business, there is an opportunity for them to realize handsomely on their investment, with as little risk as on other branches of husiness, provided, always, that ordinary care is exercised in the matter. The purification of managements, hy investigations when anything wrong is suspected, isa good thing, and will be of great henefit. We have had considerahle of this of late, all of which has resulted favorahly for all mining interests, Our Gain in PopuLation.—The Call has carefully analyzed and combined the reports of the different transportation companies for the first six months of 1877, and shown our gain in population by immigration. We quote: ‘The white immigration for 1876, by rail aud sea, numbered 43, 758, as against 15,481 Mongolians; in the first six months of 1877, 21, 760 white and 6,556 Chinese. The immigration by the two great routes—sea and railroad—then amounted, in 1876, to 59,239 of hoth races, and to 28, 316 . for the past half year. In those eighteen months, . 65,518 whites and 22,037 Chinese arrived, or a grand total of 87,555 sontls.
