of business in railway shares is larger Govern.
ment stocks are steady, except the old issue o.

Tie demand for coin for Custom-House puI'
poses keeps the market firm, and gold is grad
ually becoming scarcer, through the aecumuia
tiOns at bank and in the Sub-Ireasury. As the
department has no interest in boarding COIN,
and has for some time thrown it upon the mar
ket, by anticipating interest upon the National
debt, there is every reason to suppose that
/ early IN November the January interest VIII De
