mediate future Of the specie movement depends
almost entirely upon the movement of securities.
The Stock Exchange markets last week were ex-
cited. A sensation was prepared and served. IL
was demonstrated that stocks could rise well as
fall and that spectators of class could not al
ways rule the movement. Yet the total recorded
business of the week in stocks smaller than for
the preceding weeks, 0S3,573 shares against
3, 100000 shares, The week opened with fever
ish and unsettled market, but It was soon rImOred
abroad that almost every stock on the Inst go
ing to be treated as Central of New-Jersey and
Northern Pacific preferred stock had been used the
preceding week. Belated bears" became fright
ened and when the ball began to roll on Monday af-
ternoon it never stopped till after mid day on Thurs
day. The advances made ranged from 4 to
IS per cent. After Thursday noon there
was material decline from the extreme
highest figures, followed yesterday by a
partial recovery. But the market is left in very
unsettled condition, understanding that the low
est prices were made on Monday, the highest gen.
orally on Thursday forenoon, and that the final last
evening were better than the lowest after Thurs
day noon, the following table-showing the extreme
fluctuations for the week, together with the final
prices yesterday and week ago of few of the
leading stocks--wil best illustrate the movements

increase in the population of the United Kingdom

the returns, you have the following: France,

Only moderate business was done in Govern

The market for railroad bonds responded only a
little to the activity and advancing prices III the
share market, but there was general improve
ment.
The official report of the eastward railroad move
ment of flour, grain and provisions from Chicago
last week presents marked change from preceding
weeks, in the distribution of tonnage among the
different lines On a reduced volume, the tonnage
of the Ere's new lines dropped TO p per cent of
the whole against IA 10 per cent in the preceding
weeks, and the Grand Trunks declined from l2O
Il to per cent, while the two old Vanderbilt lines
picked up to 402 per cent and the Nickel
Plate did its full average proportion in
l1.6 per cent Doctors will disagree "a
to the cause of such remarkable change; but
is that thc cuts" OF the Erie and Grand Trunk
