scarcity of stock, and the purchases of the Government
broker.

Consols are firm at 931 to 93i for both money and the
account. New and Reduced are 921.
Foreign Stocks keep firm. Italian Fives, 50 to 56i ;

Reports having been circulated of a fraudulent issue of
Georgia State bonds, one of the papers of that State
gives the following explanation of the affair, which
illustrates the extent of caution necessary on the part
of all investors, and especially foreign ones, in dealing
with securities of this description :
" A few days ago a resolution was introduced in the
House to inquire into the issue of State bonds to a large
amount, and the forged use of an official's name in con-
nexion therewith. We have been looking into the matter,
and find that the following is said to be the state of facts:—
The Legislature authorized the Governor to make a tem-
porary loan to pay the members. He has issued bonds to
the amount of one million and a quarter of dollars, and
used the lithographed signature of the State Treasurer to
the coupons without the knowledge or authority of that
officer. Not over two hundred thousand dollars has the
Treasurer received to pay the Legislature. The immense
residue of the vast sum is, therefore, still in the hands of
the Executive. This tremendous mass of bonds has been
issued in the last month."

Messrs. Barnetts, Hoares, Hanbury, and Co. have in-

channels, or if the whole set of bills are presented
together.
