NOTES FROM THE EXCHANGE: All is not Gold that Glitters

... NOTES FROM THE EXCHANGE. A 11 is not Gold that Glitters. Dear Sir, Capel Court, Feb. 10, 1894. There would be nothing to cause the least anxiety to the markets in the monetary position were it not for the continued fall in silver, which, for the first time in history, has reached something below 2s. 6d. per ounce. As far as we can remember, the Bank reserve has never been so strong as the ...

NOTES FROM THE EXCHANGE: All is not Gold that Glitters

... NOTES FROM THE EXCHANGE. All is not Gold that Glitters. Dear Sir, Capel Court, Feb. 24, 1894. It would be quite impossible to pass over the most remarkable Bank return of the last two hundred years without remark. Since the day when Montague founded the historic institution which we now call the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, the reserve has never reached £22,001,698, and the proportion of ...

The Stock Exchange has been in a melancholy mood this week, and we have to record not only two suicides, but the sad death of Mr. Arthur Anderson, one of the best known and most important brokers in Throgmorton Street.

NOTES FROM THE EXCHANGE

... . All is not Gold that Glitters. Dear Sin, Capel Court, March 10, 1894. The Bank reserve has again risen to over 60 per cent, of its liabilities, but a distinct set back is to be noted in the late rapid rise in price of the very highest class of investment gilt-edged securities.

... NOTES FBOM THE EXCHANGE. All is not Gold that Glitters. Dear Sie, Capel Court, April 7, 1894. At last it really seems as if a revival of Stock Exchange business and, probably, of prices has come to stay. The difference is most marked inside the House, where, a month ago, jobbers and brokers were kicking their heels and indulging in various forms of amusement. Now they are hard at work, for ...
