GOVERNMENTS BUOYANT.
The rise in our bonds In London and a revival OF
the domestic inquiry the part OF Investors seek
ing employment for January dividend moneys led
TO further Improvement In government bonds,
the whole list becoming buoyant late In the after
noon, in sympathy with an advance in the '67's to
HAS, which price continued to be bid to the close
OF business The steadiness OF the gold premium
interp0sed no check to the rse which reached the
currency skies as well as the gold issues, the

apprehension of glut OF currency and OF low rates

| STOCKS ACTIVE AND FEvERIsH.
The stock market was feverish and unsettled,
