and will no doubt continue steady at 2f 3 per cent.,
and to-morrow's meeting of the Bank directors will
engage some attention, an opinion prevailing that I
a reduction of the minimum may be made.
Thera were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank yesterday.
The Trust and Agency Company of Australia
have notified that the share list for London appli-
