learn that during his abgenon from the Colony, there had been a sharp rise in exchange and his opinion was that this was very largely due to speculation upon the intentions of the Govern

one was aware, the course of the silver market had been so peculier that it was impossible for the Government at present to say for certain what the market would be six months bence. Six months ago it was 264. To-day it was over 304. Wonk anybody liave the boldness to say that six months hence it would not be 26d again, or that it might not be 34d? Under these circamstagens, pornous who were speculating on the intentions it appeared to him that those of the Government were indulging in a very dangerous operation, in which they might very likely burn their fingers.

As a result of a misinterpretation of these remarks, an extraordinary panio overtook the exchange market nert, moming, and the dollar rate fell from 98 4d demand, which was the closing price on the previous day, te 2o 3já demand, the closing price on the 3rd inst. when the marked rise in the dollar rate began. That was a drop of 11⁄2d overnight, which is almost- uncrecedented. By noon, however, the market had recovered and at closing time the demand selling rate was 4d.
