There was again an unusually largo cienitind.fot dis-
count at the Bank, but the belief is that it was caused
not so much by actual scarcity hi the open market as by
a desire on the part of the dealers to establish artifici-
ally high rates. The wants of commerce are active,
especially among the Greek and other firms engaged in
the importation of grain, but this business being among
the most legitimate and profitable of the period there is
no reason against ample facilities being accorded to it.
Happily an impression to that effect appears td be enter-
tained not only at the Bank of England, but also at other
f!eading establishments. On the whole, the trade of the
country is as healthy and as free from any ground for
panic as at any period during the past six months. The
English funds closed with renewed heaviness on receipt
of lower quotations from Paris. No withdrawal of gold
took place from the Bank. The bar silver by the West
India steamer has been disposed of at 611 d., showing
an advance of k. The Ceylon will take out to India
and China £654,276, of which £601,207 is silver, and
£53;060 gold: The railway Market was dull at the
opening, and an improvement that eubsotinently took
place has not been maintained. In several cases quota-
tions are lower than yesterday. The market, however,
was slightly steadier at the close than at ene period of
the afternoon.—Times City Article.
The directors of the Bank of England made no altera-
tion in the rate of discount ; whether they are correct
in the course they have pursued will be decided by the
progress of events. They appear to have been chiefly
guided by the consideration that the drain of gold has
for the moment been stayed, that an advance in their
terms can be decided upon at any moment when judged
necessary ;, and that as a considerable portion of the
recent applicationd Ml' Money at the .Bank haire been
dictated not by the real wants, but by tfie EiViitehensions
of the borrowers, the oversupply which has been obtained
will soon work a change in the market. • With the
public the predominant feeling appears to be one of
satisfaction. The demand at the discount office was
considerable, but not so heavy as during the last few
days. In the general market there was little alteration,
the tendency was somewhat more favourable, but little
business was done below 4 per cent., and in most quar-
ters higher rates were demanded. The funds were
affected by the result of the Bank Court, and closed the
same as yesterday. The share markets POll the Whole
were flatter in the afternoon ; SouthLEastern stock,
however; fdrmed nu exception, experiencing consider-
able rise.—Daily News City As
