have stood for two days past. The announcement
OF these prices led to decline In gold, although the

OF the, market being lllX Ill. About
midday 1t was reported that the French had
gained an important victory ever the PrQsSan army
OF Prince Frederick Charles, and as at the same
time q cable despatch stated that the English
bankers had signiied their Willingness to take the
new North German lean OF 100000 0e0 thalers. and
as our bonds and cons0ls werS quoted shade
lower, GOLD became strong and advanced to nix,
its upward reaction being assisted by rather
active demand on the part OF the shorts to cover
their speculative sales. Finally the London market
was reported strong again ut the best prices Of the
day. and gold once more declined 10 1l11s at which
price the latest sales occurred. The government

Patterson, and that the delay In fling the mortgage
was caused by the lattcrs having retained 1t
