Messrs. Samuel Montagu & Co.'s weekly circular dated Lon don, December states that:
The arrivals of bar gold were about £800,000, for which there was-no external demand except £101,000 for India. The balanco is being sent into the Bank of England, as it loaves tho refiners. The not influx during the weak was £552,000. was

"Sovereigns in substantial sums continue to arrive. in India from Australia and elsewhere, and pass into the Treasury which now hoarda twelve arores of gold in the currency reservat”.
"It is a curious commentary on the native demand for a mint to turn out sovereigns, and the complaint that India is being de prived of its right to a gold dur ronoy, that plontiful supplies of gold, already minted in the re- quired form, aro streaming into the resuryo against the note issue.
"It looks as though the hugo imports of recent years have provided all the gold India needs as ourrency for present use, and it is difficult to 'sse what botter facilities a gold mint in Indio .could offer than the unrestricted import of sovereignt minted, free of cost to India, in Australia and London."

The general tone of the market has become more normal, und on the 5th and 6th instant when the price was 25. 7-10 and 25. 3-8 there was some general buying both for India and China and the market became less dependent on Beara covering and manipulations by the Bulls than it had been of Lato.
An increase of one crore rupees in the Indian Carrenoy Return came rather as a surprise, and should the movement continue în that direction the necessity for the Indian Government to buy silver will become even more re- mote than before. The outlook in China, however, is considered more favourable, and although the political situation is still far
from settled, renewed buying for
