The demand for money in Lombard-street and
at the Bank is moderate, and the terms out of
doors are still 1 to 11 per cent. under the bank
minimum. It is fully expected that the directors
will make a reduction next week.
The London and Westminster Bank have reduced
their allowance for deposits to 4 and 5 par cent.
This measure will no doubt be adopted by all the
other joint-stock banks.

Nearly 70,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors

266,4071. 7d., against 249,6661. 9s. 3d., for the like
period of 1856. The balance to the credit of pro-
fit and loss was 239,458/. A dividend at the rate
of 25 per cent. for the half-year was agreed to.
