MOVEMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET.
DEAR MR. PUNCH,--I have been spending my holiday at a watering place, a
place that fully deserves its epithet. My London daily has been my only
entertainment, and towards the evening hours I have found myself wandering
about the less familiar beats of it. I have become an intimate of the City
Editor, and I hasten to inform you, Mr. Punch, that he has introduced me to
a side of the Gay Life which I have been missing all these years.
