for cash, and 1001 to 1 for the 9th Decembt r, which
were the quotations current at the official clime of
the market : but late in the afternoon a further ad-

mute of was established, the time quotation finally
leaving off 1002 to I. The government broker made
another investment in Consols, on account of the

Sinking Fund. The greater part of the day's
business was in Consols, and tho specula-
