The fluctuations in Atlantic an ,l Great Western
Bonds and Debentures and Erie Railway S:iares,
appear to be bringing the public to a sense of the
policy produced by the late operations. It ii now
evident that the holders of any of these securities
are quite at tha mercy of the manipulators of the
" wires between New York and London ;" because
a rise or a fall may be encouraged just as the
Wishes of the dealers may suggest. The drop has
compromised a large number of individuals, and
those who have held with the view of realising at
a comparatively satisfactory price, will again have
to wait a rally should it occur, though meanwhile
there will be sundry variations.
Mexican dollars are scarce, and, being in de-
mand for China, have risen to 4s. Hid. per
ounce. Bar silver is dull, and the inquiry for India
has temporarily abated, pending the result of the
tenders for bills next week.
The figures of the Board of Trade returns for the
Past month are more satisfactory than might have

the corresponding month of last year, and about 4
Per cent. over March, 1867.
The letters and newspapers from Buenos Ayres
to the 23d of March, brought by the Ilipparchus,
are satisfactory. The price of the national funds
had reached 501, showing an advance of 2 per cent.
since the sailing of the French packet.

holders of the Great Luxembourg Company to

recommended for the half year ending 31st Decem-
ber last. The plaintiffs state they have recently

Profit from which a dividend ought to have been
Paid on the ordinary or preference shares.
