RISE IN SECURITIES.

To demonstrate the fact that the climax of the holiday season during the early days of August is not always characterized by stagnation in security movements, it would not be necessary to go further than the record of the past ten days. Here, for example, is a table of a few Stocks and shares, taken almost at random, showing the movements which have taken place during the first ten days Stock or Share.
