COMMERCIAL WORLD.

well as in London at the low prices reached
AS for the sharp falling of the bonds, a
rise in the money rate is naturally coinci-
dent with fall in governments For another
thing, the banks which. became repositories
for the Union Pacific payment to the Govern
ment had TO give the Government bonds as
security, and the demand thus created made
record prices for the bonds. Now the Gov
eminent is withdrawing Its deposits and re-
Issuing the bonds to the banks, thus making
them available in the market.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW. YORK. Feb 26.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets here were again better
to-day but still unsettled. Americans were
bought less confidently to-day Money rates
have hardened on the further fall in New
York exchange and the continued demand for
gold, which raised the price of bars to
us 9azd
Two Stock Exchange failures were an
nounced to-day, owing to operations in
Grand Trunks and Western Australian mines.
1t is rumored that the Chinese loan will be
brought here by England This is i'm
portant. If true, because it means lookup of
money earlier than IL outside bank did It.
1 also hear a report that the Greek loan
guaranteed by the powers may be 2h per
cent loan and issued at about 9S, but cannot
confirm this

LONDON MARKET.

LONDON. Feb. 26-There was a strong: in
quiry during the week in the wool trade,
owing to short. supplies Of Merinos in the
hands of English manufacturers: A fair guam
tity was sold above the last rates. disin-
clination among holders to sell prevents large
business. There a strong demand for
sheepskins and a quantity was sold. The ar
rivals to date. for the next series aggregate
229, 23s bales. OF which 26,950 were forwarded
direct. The quantity forwarded direct shows
marked decrease and the amount available
for the series will probably not exceed 220, 900
bales.
The sale OF wool from the steamer Gro
marty which wrecked at st. Michael, Will
be held at the Wool Exchange March !.
The shaepskin sales will be held March 8.
