tai Much Will probably depend upon the

As regards the speculative attitude Of the
British and the course of the London dis

appear to possess the stimulating qualities
which speculation was inclined to ascribe

action of the administration in deciding to
call 2 per cent government bonds for inn

no bearing upon the immediate situation
The payment of these bonds will tend to
reduce accumulation of a surplus in the

appears to be no immediate requirements

with neglect in permitting the death of

The inquest over the remains Of Mrs.

tilted that the healing which the repre-
