off per out. has taken place. The government
broker ecetinaes to bay. In some of the other

gemarally rather less favourable, owing principally
to the extreme inactivity of business.

SATURDAY BVIDIRII4

The attendanoe of members of the Stock Exchange
to-day was very thin, and business was unusually
dull. Each day some of the leading (requenters et
the establishment depart on their autumnal excur-
sions. It is consequently probable that the tram,.

within a comparatively narrow compass. In several
of the markets to-day the tendency of prices
was rather drooping, principally in the rail-
