in which the sum of 672,6821., shown in the last
finance accounts as applicable to the reduction of
the national debt in the current quarter, will be
dealt with. No doubt it must be invested ; but,
in view of the demands certain to accrue almost
immediately in connection with the Abyssinian
expedition, it is possible that some other plan may
be adopted than that of purchases of government
stock in the market.

12i per cent., respectively fall due on the Chilian

In preparation for to-morrow's settlement in the
railway market yesterday, the rates of " continua-
tion"showeda decided preponderance of speculati%e
sales, and " backwardations" accordingly prevailed
in several cases, especially on Lancashire and York-
shire, Midland, and Caledonian. On the tirst-
named stock, however, the backwardation declined
to little more than per cent. in the afternoon,
some stock having been supplied. On the other
hand, the backwardation on Great Northern
" A" stock, current for so many settlements, has
given place to a considerable " contango." The
fillowing shows the terms generally current
