The most notable feature Of the present
situation is the continued demand for gold
from Paris.
During the past week the Stock ex-
change was altogether languid. in spite of
the news from South Africa and the sue

American securities were not helped by

Although the outlook is considered to be
favorable, home rails were Respondent, in
