exceptional transactions are reported in shorter
dated paper at 3-'4 per cent.

into the Bank yesterday, but £B,OOO was with-

drawn.

foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.

amounted to £705,427 and the exports to £495,000.
A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders
has been convened for Wednesday next, to consider
What steps should be taken to obtain payment of
their bonds and coupons, in "hard dollars," in-
stead of in the depreciated American papers now
illegally tendered.
