_ QUARTER TO THREE.

There has been rather an increase of ease in the dis-
count market since this day week, and were it not for
the apprehension of failures, we might probably
have to record the existence of greater facilities to
commerce generally. The continued disposition
of the Bank of England, however, to reduce its circula-
tion before the dividends fall due, as evidenced in the re-
turn of its assets and liabilities, must, of course, act as a
restraining power over the brokers and monied houses in
the City.
Consols, 88i a ; Mexican, 25i 261 ; Spanish, 23i 24.
