No alteration has been made this morning by the
authorities of the Bank of England in their rate of

and, as money is abundant, the rates are easy at 3/
and 3i per cent. Exceptional operations are also
reported at 3i per cent.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :-
