Advices from Frankfort state that the recent rise
sill the gold premiums caused a revival of the specu-
lation in American funds, and that large quanti-
ties 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 Ball per Cent. loan of
3,000,000 thalers has been negotiated as low as
94, " which proves that the large armaments
begin to tell on the credit of that State."
The Portuguese Loan, recently concluded, will be
brought out at Frankfort for subscription after it
