The executive of the Bank of England bas this day raised the minimum rote of dinountfrom7 to 8 percent. The alteration was unexpected, and has taken Use commercial community somewhat by surprise. It is inferred that the coming Bank return will be of an unfavourable character. The discount market is in a somewhat unsettled state, owing to the rise in the Bank minimum. The rate for good three months' bills is fully 8 per cent., but the supply of money is large. In the Stock Exchange there is very little inquiry for short loans on English government securities, at si to 7 per cent. The movement at the Bank, being unexpected, has caused a general decline in the prices of public securities. The funds have fallen 1 to per cent., and most of the leading speculative foreign stocks to 1. The chief reduction, however, is in the market for home railway stocks. Consols are now quoted 891 to 1 both for money and the account (August 9). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 891, 1, I ; ditto for account, 891, 1 r I ; Three per Cents.

The dollars brought by the Atrato were sold yesterday at 63d. per oz., showing a fall of ld. The bidding. foe 30,00,000 rupees (300,0001.) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of Bogland. The proportions allotted war-.to Calcutta, 17,74,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 12,00,000 rupees ; and to Madras, 26,000 rupees. The mini mum price was as before, llid. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, sd on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 238 lace (2,380,0000. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras, at Is. will receive about 23 per cent. ; and on Bombay, at 2s. 00., about 85 per cent. These were the highest prices tendered. On the last avesion the applications within the limits amounted to 1,800,000 L, so that an increase in the demand for remittance to India is now shown. The confusion caused in the Stock Exchange by the difficulty in settling the transactions in the shares of the Humber Iron Works and Ship Building Oompany (Limited) has not yet by any means ceased, although it is satisfactory to learn that a settlement is being gradually arranged co the only heals which could possibly be regarded as satisfactory—that of adherence to the contracts entered into. It appears that certain persons interested in the promotion of the company bought a large number of shares prior to the closing of the subscription with a view— according to an abused practice w hich prevails in such cases— to keep the price at a premium, and thus offer the needful attraction to the public. This object attained, these persons have been found sufficiently bereft of moral principle to decline to complete their bargains, sheltering themselves under the ignoble plea that, according to the new rule of the Stock Exchange, the settlement fixed by the committee applies only to transactions entered into since the issue of the allotment letters. It is hardly neorrary to remark that this course bas caused extreme annoyance and indignation, the more especially as the balance of the past dealings iu the company's shares is materially disturbed by the distinction which it is thus sought to set up between bargains before and bargains after allot ment. It is very creditable to the Stock Exchange as a body to find that the brokers through whom the chief of the purchases referred to were made have adopted the honourable course of fulfilling their bargains—if necessary, at their own cost ; but there are still, it is underst ood, one or two who hesitate to follow their example. The loss incurred threatens in some cases to prove severe. For ex ample, one firm of brokers who had bought 1,000 shares, yesterday "sold them out" in the market at 21. per slurs discount, so that, assuming the purchase to have been made originally at an average of 2/. premium, a loss of about 4,0001. would seem to be shown on this transaction alone. It is clear to us that in all these cases the brokers who are left in the lurch have their remedy in a court of law against their repudiating principals, the tramactions in question basing of course bees conducted—ao far, at least, as the former are con oerned—on a bona fide footing, and not partaking of the nature of "time bargains," as ordinarily understood. The probability is, therefore, that 1 the whole affair will ultimately be settled, but the illustration afforded by it of the temptation which the recent Stock Exchange resolution places in the way of unscrupulous operators renders it likely that no long period will elapse before the committer will feel the neoesrity of placing the law of the Stook Exchange relating to these matters in a more satis factory state. It is evident from the case under notice that if the promoters of a new concern wish to give an artificial impulse to the price of the shares by buying previous to the allotment, there is nothing in the late resolution of the com mittee to prevent them from doing so, so that in this respect the public and the Stock Exchange have really no more protection from illegitimate practical; than they bad before, while on the other hand grave evils not previously known of have been introduced.
