NOTES FROM* THE METES.The important feature in the mining- netrs of the

•week iri:i be the meeting- on Thursday, December17, of the board of directors of the Cobalt CentralMines Company, for the purpose of taking- actionon the dividend. Ithas already been oQcial'y an-nounced that the first disbursement is to be au-thorized on that date The company has been in aposition to pay a dividend for eeveral months, butthe directors state that they were unwillingto be-gin disbursements to stockholders until they couldbe continued at regular quarterly intervals. Inorder to be certain that this could be done. It wasnecessary to continue mining operations to a pointwhere larg-e ore reserves could be definitely openedup. This -work was beg-.m several months &go, by,me»ins of diamond drilling, to locate the veins anddrifting- to open them up. Several very rich strikeshave been made In the lower levels, the most re-cent of which was announced on Thursday last in.& telegraph dispatch received from Jacob W.Youns, superintendent of the mines, which statesthat the diamond drill has cut a vein running 5.000ounces, -with native sliver showing- plentifully Inthe wall rock on both Bides of the rich streak-

From Cobalt comes the announcement that withth<» amount of drifting done and the or« bodies Insight in the Buffalo mine- it la entirety possible forthe property to equal the shipments of high gradoor« oX any mine in camp. Ithas been the policyof the management to leave the high grade untilsuch time as the price of silver warrants. The orereserves have r.ot beers drawn on, but have i>een•teadlly added to. With the additions to the millcompleted, directors cf the company say the millalone will pay the dividends, amounting- to upwardOf 1300, annually, without depleting the mine ofhigh grade ore.

The average cost of produc-tion a pound for five months amounted to .0932c,but this average cost a pound will be somewhat re- t

duced by lower cost during November, detail re-poru not yet having been rt-cel-.'ed. Out of thetotal net profits CM were received from "otherBources.~ The percentage of gold and silver valuesin the ores for the s.x months run from 26 percert in June lo 30 per cent in October.

GENERAL MARKET REPORT.COFFEE-The coffe.

Saturday. December 12, 19C3.(.OFFEE

—T^« coffee market waa %\u25a0---.\u25a0 quiet to-day

<sa.es for the half session being only 2.250 bags, whilearter opening- unchanged to 6 points higher, prices heldsteady art"closed steady at a partial net gain of 5 points.The regular cables showed no movement of ibrelgr. mar-kets calculated to Impress local sentlmtct. Havre wasunchanged to V lower, and Hamburg was also unchangedto * lower. th« declines being limited to one or twopositions in both Instances. Of the Brazilian markets San-tos was unchanged, and Rio was 75 reia higher. Receipts

\u25a0were moderate, reaching only 39.>.00 bags at the two portsagainst 36.000 bass last year and 76,<A)0 bags two yearsago. Juadlahy receipts w«re 04,800 bags, agiinst 10.000baijs last year and 52.000 bags two years ago. Warehousedeliveries are running large, reaching 23.R«57 bag 3on Fri-day at New York, against 10.078 bass -the previous day.Mall advices from Brazil suggest that nearly 1.750.000bass or coffee previously hold by the government un lerthe valorization law had been disposed of In Europe andthe United States during the progress of the Santosstrike, and for a considerable period there were no re-ceipts or shipments from that port. Reductions In valor-lzaffoc holdings are considered a favorable feature bymany local traders, and. according to Information pub-lished yesterday morning, the amount of coffee to beplaced as collateral for the Sao Paulo loan Is «J.1»94.000bavsrs Instead of a. little over S.ooo.<>oo bags as generallybelieved.

—cotton market had a moderate rally

to-day at a result of shorts realizing for over the week-end and \u25a0

—scattered buying for a turn, although gen-

srally ejwaklng. sentiment around the ring remained of abearish average, and the average professional operator evi-ientiy felt Uttle confidence In the ability oi tha Southto maintain th« present prices for spot cotton. Themarket cp^ried at an advance of 4®7 points in responseto better cables than due. sold oft to within 2 or 3 pointsd* Friday's close, men firmed up, and was finally steadyit a net advance of &®lO points, with last prices holdingipoint or two off from the best. The upturn In Liver-pool, where th» market was IS to 3 points higher whenJue to come about 1 to 3 points lower, was ascribed tomd-of-the-week covering and New Tcrk support. "Week-mvl figures were rendered less bearish than expected bytho large rplnners taking reported, but the visible supplyDf American eottcn showed a larger Increase for the w<*-*>c

than It did during the same week last year. A3 usual onSaturday there was very little news from the South re—ja:-±:Bj? the spot situation. New Orleans wired that the\u25a0pot market was dead owing to the absence of demand,

[t srema to be generally admitted that at the present timethere a very little demand from mills, which probablyire pretty well supplied as a result of heavy buying dur-ing October and November. This falling off in <t*ir.andhas been accompanied by no diminution In the Southerndesire to sel! around the current lev-: of prices. SoTar the lnter:or has shown lit:.-disposition to prant ma-:erlal concessions, but there Is a feeling in the marketthat requirements for holiday fends may force some ofthe more weakly held cotton upon tha market in the nearfutura.
