The Berlin banks have co-operated to
check the decentralization of the Bourse, and
French tinanciers have acted similarly to-
wand what they declare to be an uniustitied
pane. Opinion in London regards HE con
tinental dtmoIalization rs attributable to
speculation in securities and industrial over

prudent to expect an advance IN the bank
rate, possibly before Thursday. The Amerl-
can market in foodstuffs is excited, Will
higher prices.

not been found but a bulletin has been issued
saying there is no danger, the manuscript
Ct his speech ha>ing checked the bullet, aud
