Mr.. Munger said he was not aware that
his mild and gentlemanly colleague, from

IcVcTiSh---lhe Upward Turn.
NV YORK, Feb. 25.-Wall street ismore
quiet to-day, but everything is still fever
ish. Gold was active, with a speculative
demand, and some bears covered their
shorts, which, with the fact that there was
less fright on the part Of the public, caused
a rally in the premium. Most of the bears,
however, stubbornly resisted the upward
movement, and at the close the price was
I per cent. below the highest point of the
day.
Very large business transactions, but the
Frenzy of yesterday was wanting on stock
exchange. The bulls rallied prices slightly at
times, but made little Roadway, and the
day closed rather in favor of bears. The
p~esent calm will probably be succeeded
