intcrrogations in the house of com

THE MEAT oFIr.
II may be set down as absolutely |
true that the rise and fall talked OF |
the past ten days is largely due to
speculative money interest in making |
sales or purchases. Never in the his |
tory of modern times has such n vast |
OF money been interested in
the change of the public opinion OF

vested by Berlin, Vienna, Paris and
London capitalists, in Russian securi-
ties and British consuls have compell-
nd n vast aud powerful interest TO
and spread good news. The
owners of the millions of idle money
