rate of 71. 10s. per cent. for the Ulf-year free of
income tax, be declared, and a resolution to that

It appears that the committee of Mincing-lane
brokers is acting in harmony with the committee of
members of the Stock Exchange, appointed to
agitate for an abolition of the system of brokers'
bonds and rents, and that the statement which we
published yesterday has been approved by both
committees. We have received from Mr. William
Rartridge a copy of a letter sent by him to the
committee of brokers, in which he states his reasons
for declining to act any longer with that committee,
and states that he " must stand by the interests of
his order, i. e., the sworn brokers."
