The

continues CLOCK
at •
10
per cent,, the authorities of the Bank of England
not having deemed it expedient to make any altera-
tion to-dal. The commercial public did not gene-
rally expect a change, and no surprise has been
evoked at the protracted maintenance of the quota-
tion ; but a reduction in the interest of trade is
nevertheless desired, and the time is not considered
far distant when an amelioration can with clue pro-
priety be conceded. The restrictions which so high
rate of discount impose upon business have neces-
sitated a great curtailment of operations, and the
demand for accommodation upon mercantile paper
is therefore comparatively small. The quotations
of the brokers remain firm at 8 per cent, for the best
short-dated bills.
At the Bank of England yesterday there ws,s an
influx of £40,000 in bar gold.
The general meeting of the St. James's Hotel
Company will be held on Saturday next, when the
usual dividend of 10 per cent. will be recommended.
The report of the directors of the London and
Suburban Land and Building Company has been
issued prior to the meeting of shareholders on the
2d of August. The dividend and bonus proposed
is at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, with a
large balance of profit to he carried forward.
The Ripon has arrived from Alexandria with
£15,000, and the Bremen, from New York, with
£54,000.
