Government bonds were active and excited during
the week In sympathy with rise abroad, which
carried fiye-twentes to rs in London, the highest
point they have ever attained. Doubtless the first
reason of this improvement is the action OF Con.
gress In taking steps TO limit the bonded debt OF the
country; but, remotely, European capitalists have
long been conscious OF tile available character OF
our securities for investment, and have only been
waiting for some limit to increase OF the
debt such as proposed BY Congress. This
advance was Immediately followed by rise in the
home market, where the utmost animation charac-
terized transactions. The foreign bankers were
large purchasers, and the amount exported within
the past two weeks hardly less than $12. 600.
The home investment demand has also been stImu-
lated and the effect has been TO create great scarcity
