During the last few days the rapid exportationefo
gold caused an uneasy feeling in monetary cirelteil
lest the Directors of the Bank .of England sil°;p,
feel compelled to give the " screw " another tuoi

diate alteration in the discount regulations iceo
be considered necessary. It is well know° tort
large sums have been sent to the continent Onto
every day for the last week or
_so, which, indr
absence of any influx, would "have perhaps rle;,o

tional establishment from Ireland. This, with :;

unacquainted with what passing in the 139 a
the present position of the Money Market, test
