The impression gains strength that the Bank of
England will probably, to-morrow, advance tbeir rate of
discount of 4 per cent. Taking the fluctuations in their
stock of bullion as a guide, the measure is certainly to be
expected. In Aril last, erten the rate stood at 41 per
cent., the amount bell was about 15,600,0001. In May,
when a rednetien Loch place to 4 per cent., it was about
18,000,0001.; and in June, when there was a further drop
to 31 per cent., it was over 18,000,0001. Now ft is again
only 16,500,0001., and, instead of any rasa of steadiness at
that point, there is every reason to anticipate a further ran-
sidersble, although perhaps temporary, dimMution.
