Some discussion has been occasioned by a para-
graph in a Trieste journal to the effect that local
opposition is made to the Bank of Egypt, and that
the firman granted to the bank by the Viceroy has
been consequently withdrawn. This statement is
founded upon some misapprehension. The promoters
of the bank have never laid claim to the possession
of any firman or similar document. Prior to grant-
ing a charter of incorporation to the bank, the British
government is knows to have ascertained that the
government of Egypt is favourable to the project, and
the representations made to the company's agents in
Alexandria are, we are informed, of • similarly
satisfactory character. The opposition is believed to
originate with °omit homes, which have hitherto
profited largely by their command of the class of
business contemplated by the new institution.
A project is on foot for the formation of • new
joint-stock bank at Birmingham, with a capital of
200,0001., subject to increase to 600,0004

MONDAY Evanwa.

The funds experienced a rise of 1 per cent. this
afternoon, although the arrangements for the settle-
ment of the monthly account is Consols have dive-
loped a large floating speculation for higher prices,
compelling buyers to pay a higher rate of interest
for " carrying over" their accounts. The improve-
ment in prices was 000saioned by some considerable
purchases by influential operators, coupled with
favourable reports relative to the progress of the
negotiations at Paris. A decline upon to-dsy's Bourns
failed to counteract the upward tendency, being at-
tributed merely to the reaction from the recent undue
expansion of speculative operations is that market.
