end sevens. In fact, a sort of rovelittion appears to be
approaching,. Without doubt the Court of Direetoi s
of the Bank of England are really very stringently
puttirg on the screw upon the accommodation hitherto
afforded to the discount firms, rich as most of tbetuare, of
the city of London. Of course the continuance of this line of
policy, must tend to react upon private accornnioda-
tion the privileges heretofore enjoyed by the
firms already allieled to. Will, then, the question is
asked in most circles, the secret committee of the Bank
of England make up the void thus of necessity created ?
This is very doubtful, in our opinion, fortified in '
it as we are by conversations with parties
deeply connected with financial end commer-
cial affairs. The strain, therefore, must still be
very severe when money is required, even upon ap-
proved bills of exchange. Instances have been related
to us, in which securities lodged of exceedingly good
repute have been taken in at 6 and 6} per cent. this very
morning. It may be that the Bank parlour meet-
ing will announce in a definite shape and publicly
the real intentions of the managing body of the
Corporation, as to the future, so that there may not
be any hypothesis to mislead the public, or doubts
entertained as to the course of action for the future.
The emergencies of the times are well known. Let,
then, it is urged in all quarters, the intention of the
directors be enunciated, and that, too, without any fur-
ther delay.
There are very late commercial letters in town this
morning from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. From
the former the accounts come down to the 3d January
last. The blockade had lasted 462 days, and so safely
and rigidly had it been kept that not a single vessel had
entered. At Monte Video business was slack indeed.
The exchange was marked at the low figure of 20. 21d.
the dollar. This is indeed a ruination value.
The transactions in the Public Securities have been of
a most chequer. d character this morning. Money is
certainly n.ore in demand. Consols for Money have
r:-.ceded as low as 87i, and for the Account to 87*. At
the present hour prices are perhaps a shade firmer, but it
is a tr..icti•Ai—say per cent. The fall upon the extreme
prices of jesterday has been all round full one per cent.
Option business has been carried ca to a very consider-
able
amount, and for a further fall too. For the Ac-
count the price to-day has ranged from 87* to 87k, and
the same for Money. Consol Scrip has been sold at 21
,!iscount ; Exchequer-bills at 2s. premium and Is. dis-
count ; India Bonds at ss. discount and 2s. premium ;
and India Stock at 246*.
Where transactions have been entered into in the
Foreign Funds this morning the sellars were compelled
to submit to reduced prices. In Spanish Consols a few
bargains w- re made et 24 to 241, in the Passive at s*,
and in the Three per Cents. at 351. Venezuela Stock
la at 401. The Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. at
58* 1-, mid the Four per Cents. at 90.
'rho Railway Share Market is flat, with a very small
amount of business doing. The tightness of money is
working injury to the value of railway investments.
