Great Rrltuln has suffered three t.otnhlo n
verses to Its arms In South Africa , Its Hire
cclumns of Invasion have been paralylxi
and a ? a result nliiims spread through Hi
ilniincl.il cLpti-rs of the whole world. Grav
ferrs were felt that the resulting shrlnkas
In values Mould prevent many operators o
thrLondun exchange from inoellm ; thcl
cimaKements at the current settlement. Th

rather than to decline , brought Itnmotis

line. The only notable check came with lit
news of the failure of u Host on Stock ON

temporal y and light.
The conditions In the money market wet
notably easy and one of the largest In
dividual money lenders In the street mad
large loans lo carry over until next Tuosda
sit the rate of G per cent. The current rat
ruled from I to 5 per cent. The clos-'c of th
year is unlvctsally expected to terminal
the period of severe stringency and be fo ]
lowed by relaxation , owing to disburse
ir.ents of dividends nnd Interest on un tin
prccedcnted scale. There was sO'ino ' dls > ciu
slon of the probable amount of gold eM

'buying ' to cover short contracts , although i
was a considerable olemint In the ndvan-i
was ttsio.lt Induced by the substantial elv.n
actor of the buying. The trade did not taKen
on any great animation until near the clos
nnd the Individual transactions were not o
a large , scale. In fa 't the vimber of od
lots trailed In was a feature of the daj
which lollected the Investment demand b
buyers who take stocks out of the mnrkc
to lock im.
Investment buying was In evidence nls
In the bond market , where the fall In prlcr
had opportunity to secure fair return o
money Invested. The bond market was at
live and strong throughout. Total sales

The Commercial Advertiser's Londo
financial cablegram says : The. market

settlements showed an open account undo
expectations and money was obtained mor
wislly than wns thought likely. The Scotc

common to medium kinds of cows am
heifers was lOo lower than yesterday am
