The Frankfort advices state that the adverse re-
action which had set in on the Bourse was of short
duration, and that although the liquidation for the
month showed the market to be much overstocked,
a new impulse to speculation had been given from
Berlin, where all kinds of shares have experienced
another rise. A lottery loan of 16 million lire for
the city of Leghorn has been contracted for by
Italian and Frankfort bankers. The Ileideberg-
