A FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF

DISCOUNT.
The directors of the Bank of England have this
morning again advanced their minimum rate of
Interest and discount, from 7 to 8 per cent. A
movement of 2 per cent on consecutive days is an
anusuel event, and it has consequently created con-
siderable excitement and commotion in business
circles. The measure is evidently directed princi-
pally against the drain of coin to the East and
other places,
the lot which threatens a serious depletion of
....ank's vaults, unless a restrictive policy be
adopted..

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to
this day are in round figures as under :

These returns are in most instances of a satiable-
tory character—on the Great Western there is an
increase of £4,295, on the North Western of
,_48.580, on the South Western of £1,783, on the
Midland of £3,576, on the South Eastern of £770,
On the Great Northern cf £2,815, on the Lan-
°Eishire and Yorkshire of £3,554, on the North
Eastern of £3,146, and on the Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln of £1,412; the London and
lirighton, however, shows a decline of £765.
The Ripon, which will be despatched to-morrow
to India and China, will convey £188,348, of
which £183,890 is in gold for Alexandria.
The Edinburgh from New York has brought
£lOO,OOO.

Two O'CLOCK.
No change has been made in the rates of interest
°lldeposit accounts by the joint stock banks and
private discount houses.

Business in the general market is almost sus-
Pended, and the mercantile community are gene-
rally resorting to the Bank of England for the ac-
commodation they require.
In the English Stock Market this morning some
fluctuation has occurred since the announcement of
the rise in the Bank rate of discount. At first the
Funds declined but when the public began to view
affairs in their right light, and to regard the action
of the Bank authorities as judicious, a better feeling
prevailed, and Consols recovered the loss they had
sustained an hour previously, and the quotations.
Which are no w the same as last evening, are ex div.
908 / for money, and 90/ a for the January account.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are
lower, at 89/ 90; the 3u Years' Annuities are 14a
Exchequer Bills, ss. dis.; India 6 per Cents, 104 ;
do. 4 per Cents., 1001 ; do. 5 per Cent. Enfaced,
103 104; and the Bonds, 5 prem.
As soon as it became known that the rate of
discount had been advanced, considerable depression
Was experienced in the Stock Exchange Markets,
especially in the Foreign department. Mexican
receded 1 per cent., viz., to 33/ 34/ ; Greek were
11 lower at 241, 251; the Coupons were / worse,
being 11 12 ; Turkish Coneolides dropped 11, or to
43144± ; Spanish Passive went down / to 338; and
the Certificates were I flatter at 12/ 13. The
present prices are as follows
Turkish Coneolides, :—Mexican, 331 ;
44 I ; ureek, 258 ; do.
Coupons, 11 12 ; Spanish Passive, 321 ; do.
Certificates,
60 62.121 13; and the Confederate Loan,
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
111°Gleratl'IY active, but prices have shown less firm-
ness, owing
to the advance in the rate of discount.
Great 7.iorthern A Stock have declined 15s. ; and
sre, 10s.
Londizea and Brighton, 155.; Lancashire and York-
hi ; and North-Eastern (Berwick), ss. ;
Greet Western, however, have improved 52.; and
ketropolitan, 10s.
In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has
been little change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in several in-
stances show rather less firmness. Imperial Otto-
IDeu have receded to 171; Oriental to 671; Union
°,,,f London to 39/ ; Discount Corporation to 61 7 ;
General Credit to 6±; and National Discount Com-
13'11 to 91
