condition of the discount market, either as regards
the supply of capital on offer, or the demand for it
on the part of the public. The requirements of the
cennnercial classes are just now very heavy, but the
bankers and brokers have more than sufficient
money at their disposal to meet the calls made upon
their resources. The lowest rate charged out of
doors for the negotiation of the best short dated de-
13eription of bills is 52. per cent., but as this quota-
is

only taken in exceptional cases, 5i per cent.
the general rate. The authorities of the Bank of
'-'llgla'ad have consequently received numerous ap-
Pwations for assistance.

adrawal of 55,000 sovereigns for Alexandria.

sidered favourable.
