pany touched 21 prem. yesterday morning, relapsed
to 2 prem., upon sales by speculative applicants (upon
whose participation no check was imposed in the
shape of a preliminary deposit), and closed at 21 to
21 prem. The result of the allotment is that the
members of the Stock Exchange—who, Deng on the
spot, and first aware of the current premium on the
new bonds, principally filled the subscription list--
have obtained, in most instances, the whole amount
written for, with the exception of about 10 per cent.
