left. Sellers ask 43 8d. 
Ceylon Plumbago — no sales ; tone, firm. 
City talk. — It is said Mr Chamberlain gave the people 
cheap Congol::', but the fall this week is owing chiefly to 
the Fire Companies selling out to pay for ibeFire in 
Baltimore. The majority at Westminster of 51 twice 
could have been increased. The Dnke at the Guild- 
hall did not show like Mr Chamberlain how to reduce 
the absurd Tariffs against this great country. The 
working classes, we are afraid, are not in favour of 
Mr Chamberlain's policy, but if he reduced the duties 
on Coffee, Wines, Spirits, Beer and Tobacco, he might 
easily win. As to the War the Stock Exchange gossip 
is, it will last seven years ; but we don't think it will 
last seven months.
