Wall street consisted chiefly in
the Gold Room, where cOnsidera-
bic excitement prevailed, with a
large business and wide fluctua-
tions. The Prussian victory caus-
ed free sales on the part of the
Germans. Many weak specula-
tors were forced to follow suit.
This sent the price of gold Keeling
downwards, and took a further
plunge when it was announced
that bonds were 8580864 in Lon
don and 8S1 in Frankfort. The
market opened on the street at an
early hour. The first sales were
at 1904, but the price quickly de-
clined to 119. 1t almost immedi-
ately rallied to 1194, where it re-
manned a short time. 1t was not
long before gold was offered by
millions, when the price tumbled
to 11S3. At the formal opening
of the Board the first recorded
sale was at 119, but this was fol
lowed by a decline to 1881. It
subsequently rose to 1195, and
after this the market hung around
119401193 for some time, but Fl
nally fell off to 1851. During the
afternoon it was weak and declin-
ed to I18A11S3, closing very weak
and unsettled at 118301188.
