Great excitement has lately prevailed in [1507 mining circles and on the Stock exchange in con- sequence of negotiations having been opened by the Prussian Government for the purchase of the colliery Hibernia" in Westphalia and others connected with it. It appears that the great coal mines syndicate is fast nequiring complete control of the trade and that the Go. vernment, who already own and work extensive collieries on the Moselle and in Silesia, considered it advisable in the interest of the public to step in and to secure, by an extension of their mining property, greater influence on the course of prices. The terms offered, as far as they were allowed to transpire, were looked upon as favour. for not only did the public rash is, but the syndicate and financial firius connected with it bought hoavily in order to retain their quasi movement extended monopoly.
