prices ithtsined, compared with hittny's transarttoto, %rte
rather stiff than otherwise.

Come,—The holders ask more motley to-day by a shil-
ling or two, but not baring vet obtained it, we merely
serve, that firmness and confidence prreails generally • e
the holders in a remarkable degree, and that there are appa-
rently no sellers except at the extreme advance.
