GOVERNMENTS STEADY.
The government list was quiet and steady, the
opposing influences Of stringent money on the one
side and Of higher gold on the other having neu-
trazed each other in their eject upon the prices
OF the gold issues. But both these influences were
combined adversely in the case Of the currency
issues, which accordingly were exceptionally weak
and lower. The following were the closing prices:-

GOLD sTRoNa--114% 115H.
The gold market was strong through continue
ton OF the influences already noted as having
started the rise from 1l4A on Tuesday last, or
when it was vaguely reported that the Treasury
call Of bonds would be modified 80 as to call for
only $50, 00O, Oo0 and the price rose to 1857 amid
considerable excitement the "bears'' being the
most conspicuous buyers, and apparently advanc-
ing the market against their interests through

reduction In the Bank OF England rate Of discount
