be $7072,7 $50, which Is indicative OF gain OF
$1778,425, but somewhere there is discrepancy OF

hcult to make an exact exhibit. yet IL is not i'm
probable that during the next fortnight We may
be able to arrive at facts. The system OF averages
relied upon Tor public report is more or less un-
certain, and various mistakes have occurred which
require 1t is to be hoped that this cor
rection will be made. The following table shows
