Great Northern Railway A and B stocks. The
former closed at 84 to 86, showing a rise of about 4
per cent, whilst the latter improved 2 per cent.

stated, however, that speculators in this stock have
largely oversold themselves in the north, upon the
prospect of a diminished dividend. The stock hag
consequently been found so scarce in some of the
northern markets, that it has been borrowed for
transfer within the teat few days at a " backwarda-
tion " or bonus of as much as I per cent.

this week a decrease of 1,1011.
