The temptation of THE DUTCH EAST, rainous prices has largely fallen flat in face of the solid mase of inertia presented by overses cut- lete onervated with stocks and placements, even when set ageing by special starvation rates, have mostly stopped short at insign ificant quantities. Any support forthcoming from China bas been of a negligible quantity, a demon stration, in the shape of a temporary withdrawal from the suctions on the part of the dealere, against increased likin dues, and the weakness of silver, have provided the main incidente, South America, still obsessed with the money stringeney, has made little progress towards re- covery, and therequirements of thei or outlete have not been of a nature to arouse any stir.
