Advises from Frankfort state that the recent rise
in the gold premiums caused a revival of the specu-
t,ti'n in American funds, and that large quanti-
" of bonds from New York and elsewhere.were
taken up, in the anticipation of an early re-
action, but that, when this ensued, speculators
were so overstocked and so anxious to dispose of
a Part of their holdings that they could not
realise the profit they had looked for ; very few
serious investments having lately been made. A
small Prussian Four and a Half per Cent. loan of
3
9;°°°,ooo thalers has been negotiated as low as
9'7 " which proves that the large armaments
begin to tell on the credit of that State."
