Gold has got up to 113l3@l1i, 80 that the
intimation thrown out in financial circles a
week ago that the clique were bearing the

gins to look more than bali true. Currency

to 3 per cent money is peculiarly dull the
fuctuation has been to per cent. Large
amounts OF currency are being shipped west

is 10@20c higher and the market active, both on
home and foreign account. Wheat has gained
little in value almost every day. The Euro

tends to check the movement. Mich. white
