The directors of the Bank of England have not
made any alteration in the rate of discount. There
is a good demand for accommodation, owing to bills
which were held in reserve in case lower rates should
prevail being now brought forward. The supply of
capital, however, is not so large as yesterday, and
5-1 and 6 per cent. are the current quotations for
the best bills.

The gold sent into the Bank yesterday repre-
sented £21,000.
