After a short deliberation the Bank of England
directorshave not deemed it advisable to make any
further alteration in the rate of discount. The un-
favourable turn within the past few days of the
foreign exchanges, and the outflow of gold to the
Continent, have no doubt influenced the decision of
the authorities. The demand for accommodation
to-day is active, on account of the settlement at the
Stock Exchange, and the best bills cannot be ne-
gotiated under 5i and 6 per cent.
At the general meeting to-day of the shareholders
of the London and Venezuela Bank, a dividend for
the half-year was declared at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum, free of income-tax.

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