quotations of Saturday. In the other departments
of the Stock Exchange business is very inactive.
English railway stocks are particularly quiet,
but prices are firm. The principal transactions
continue to he in foreign stocks, in which, however,
the alteration in prices is confined to a rise in

Greek.

The Wellesley, from Melbourne, has arrived
with 136,5001., which will be sent abroad. At the
present level of the foreign exchanges gold can be
sent from here to the Continent at a profit as a
mere exchange operation. No Australian gold
ships being known to be at sea, further supplies
cannot be looked for from that quarter until some
weeks hence, and as the remittances which will
continue to come forward from America will pro-
bably fall short of the wants of exporters, it would
appear that further recourse must be had to the
stock in the Bank of England.
It is said that a considerable uumber of shares in
the Standard Bank of South Africa are still held
on speculation by the persona who have bj, their
operations brought about the recent rise in the
price. No one pretends for a moment, however, to
impute the " rig" to the board : on the contrary,
the allotment is generally admitted to have been
made without reservation, and the shares are un-
derstood to have been distributed in unusually
small amount' amongst as many as seven
hundred subscribers. By the prompt action
they have taken in making a call of 51. per share,
the board have practically testified their disap-
proval of the attempted " rig " in the shares, and
have contributed, whilst collectively exonerating
themselves, to fasten the onus of the movement on
the proper shoulders. The allotment to the mem-
bers of the Stock Exchange appears to have been
smaller than is usual in such caws, but to have
been fairly made.
We are informed that arrangements are being
made with gentlemen of influence in Dublin to act
as a local board for the management of the affairs
of the English and Irish Bank in that city.
