Financial Notes

HESITANT MARKETS.

THE Stock Markets have been quieter during the past week, anxiety concerning the situation in the United States being among the restraining influences. A further influence affecting markets has been the wild movements of the exchanges, accompanied by a further advance in the price of gold. That this chaotic condition in the exchanges and the rise in gold is now regarded with some uneasmess is evident from the fact that even gold mining shares have not responded to the fresh rise in the price of the metal, the tendency being rather to take profits. British Funds and kindred stocks have kept quite firm.
