White Cliff Springs, and had only been in New

with but few exceptions, been of very restricted
character throughout the year. There were but
few fsvorite securities ct any time upon the mar.
ket. and ss they were unform MY held at prices
above the views Of buyers, spectators could have
no motive for heavily investing in them. At the
same time the market was generally gutted with
the lower grade securities, but owing to the iu-
cer'itude which prevailed with regard to the
future, parties who otherwise might have bought
to hold. appeared to wholly shun them. The
variations In rates are in some cases heavy for the
year, but they are more apparent than real, and
are mostly confined to the stocks of banks whose
previous nominal capitals have been increased or
diminished. and the value of their respective
shares altered accordingly.
