Of last September. The bases of this
movement are said to be very heavy.
The exports of specie since the declara-
ton of war between France and Prussia
are in the aggregate OF SIS, ,O00, 600. This
heavy outflow Of specie Is in connection

delivery in the daily operations of gold,
and not only reduced rates for carrying
to a mere nominal interest, but within
the past few days borrowers of gold ao-
tualiy pay something for the daily use Of
it. The Express says that Withdrawal
Of SIS, ,000, goo, or even one half of this
amount, from the loan market in the
Gold Room would stimulate the activity
in the money market, and would proba-
