In the Liverpool Share Market to-day, the
advance of the Bank rate to 5 per cent. having
been anticipated, the first effect of it was an
advance of per cent. upon yesterday's currency.
Subsequently the market became somewhat flatter,
and about per cent of the advance was lost;
however, the final tone was very steady. The
transactions included :—Birkenhead, 70; Caledo-
nian, 91; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 104,61

The following appeared in our second edition
of yesterday :
The tightness of the money market had an unfavour-
able effect upon the stock markets to-day, and the funds
closed 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. The reaction
was more decided in the share markets. The demand
for money to-day was very active :in Lombard-street
51 was to many instances demanded for god. short
bills. There is every likelihood of an immediate advanee
in the minimum to 5 per cent. by the weeky court
to-morrow. There were again no transactions in bullion
at the Bank.—. Daily News.
Consols opened at an improvement, but a tendency to
reaction was caused by a revival of the demand for
money in the discount market. At the Bank the appli-
cations were extraordinarily numerous, and many persons
anticipate that g movement to 5 per cent. may to-morrow
be resolved upon, although much of the pressure was
perhaps artificial, and attributable to the prevalence of
this idea. So long as the joint stocks banks and discount
houses follow the Bank of England, by advancing to a
corresponding extent their allowance for deposits, there
can be little expectation that an enhancement of the rate
will have much effect in checking any overtrading that
may possibly exist. The continental exchanges show
general firmness.—Timer.
