quence of the extraordinary bargain, in imitation of that with
the Emperor Nicholas, said to Save been concluded by Queen
Maria Christina with the DNA of France for the purchase
of French reutes to the am, ant in capital of 6 millions of
francs, which to that extent will place the establishment
stronger in specie funds ; as in hard dollars, of which unfortu-
nate Spain has been fleeced, the payment would dont,tlees be
made. Consols opened at 891 to 1, but declined to 891 to 1,
