No alteration has been mad this morning in the
official rates of discount at the Bank -of England,
and the announcement has occasioned a slightly
easier feeling. The demand for accommodation is
rather active in consequence of the bills falling due
on the 4th, and the rates generally obtained by
brokers for first-class paper is 7 per cent.:
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :
