dividual member of the least distinction who belonged to the

sparkling in London.

UNITED STATES SECURITIES—There has been less de-
mand for Government securities. Gold Interest Bonds
have not been seriously affected by the fall of gold from
1371 to 126 k. Seven-Thirties have stood at 991 to par
during the week—that is to s below the price of 5-20's
without interest. There has been a slight advance upon
the second class: of securities [during the week. Gold
bearing bonds are from Ito 1 higher.

RAILWAY AND MISCELLANEOUS SECURITIES.—The
abundance of money has promoted speculation, though not
to an immense extent. The favourable freight returns
have generally increased quotations 2 or 3 per cent. above
those of a week ago. Colorado Gold Stocks continued to
gain confidence, owing to the success of the new separating
processes.

THE GoLn MA RKET. —The quotations for gold have been
steadily downward. This is owing partly to the contrac-
tion policy of the Finance Bill, and partly the new rate of
exchange, and large orders for cotton received by the Aus-
tralasian. The following are the quotations for the
week :
