leading feature is a relapse of per cent. in Brazilian,
to 78. Egyptian, Italian, and Turkish are a shade
firmer. American railways are flat, especially Erie, which
have declined 11 per cent. Home Railway Securities,

exception of Midland, which have fallen per cent.

demand from the L9ndon houses, but in some quar-
ters there is experienced a larger inquiry from the
country. The current terms are 11 and 1 per
cent.

to 2.3 in English wheat, and is in foreign.
