tions have occurred in prices. Financial

dency. The dealings in the Stock Exchange gene-

The lessees of the Malta and Alexandria Tele-
graph Line announce that the cable, which ceased
working last week, has been repaired, and is

by the direct route and thus avoid the delays which
take place on the Turkish lines it is necessary for
the public to add the words " via Malta " to the
address of their correspondents, otherwise mes-
sages for Egypt and India will be forwarded by the
Continental Telegraph authorities via Constanti-
nople.
