strate in the Gold Room tomorrow to
lock up cash gold. It is stated that tie
Broad street bear" is short of six mil
lions gold, borrowed to make up time

bayles which hold the ''bulls" floating
gold here refuse to enter into the scheme,
but will probably accept higher rates for
the use of their gold in the regular loan
market.
