New YORK, Nov. 49, - Charles X.
Flint received two cablegrams from Brazil
this morning. One was from a merchant
house in Paris, and stated: Exchange
advanced from 2714 to 272l pence. Rubber
advanced 50 rels. Brazil tranquil, revolu
tion may cause trouble later on The
other cable was from Rio. and confirmed
the published reports about the imperial
family and the proclamation
of the republic. Also that the pres
ent government would carry out all the
obligations of the imperial government,
and that there was likely to be Il peaceful
solution of all difficulties. Mr.. Flint stated
that the barometer by which the condition
of affairs can be judged was the exchange,
and that the fact of the rate of exchange
increasing = pence, which corresponded
to % per cent, is significant IN showing
that in the minds of tn ebankers and mer-
chants the stability of Brazilian finances
was not likely to be disturbed by the
change of government.
The rate of exchange in Brazil, Mr..
Flint said. corresponds exactly TO the
fluctuations of the greenback currency in
this country during the civil war.
The coffee exchange opened this morning
with no excitement. Futures were steady.
A cable from London announces that the
market for Brazilian securities there is
firm at slight advances.
