At the commencement of the week, the mine marl'
opened rather dull, though inquiries were made for a
few large shares such as United Basset, De°,
Consols, and South Tolgus. Towards the latter Par's
however, the business became brisker. ot-

In consequence of the shares not realising the price

The recent fluctuations and depressions in the ,0.0
market may be regarded as the natural reaction 04; f,
period of excitement, during which the article had o

stances of an increasing demand and an evidently der.
