In several days past certain parties have been
quietly buying up Metropolitan Police warrants,
and have PAID steadily advancing prices, COM
mencing at 50 and closing at about 20 The i'm
preston seems TO prevail that as under the law
these warrants have heretofore been received for
licenses, that they will continue to be available for
that purpose. The sales reported to-day embrace
$50 600 at II. City time o. 1873, and city. appro
priation certificates, seem also in demand for pay
mert of back taxes. The former are still quoted
at about So while tAe latter now rule ct 81.

but nothing TRANSFERRED that indicated any quota.
Die variation in rates. We therefore continue "a
