TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank
of England rate of discount which continues at 10
Per cent. The demand for accommodation on the
part of the commercial public is being reduced very
considerable on account of the high value of money,
and as the brokers are generally very reserved in
their dealings, the majority of borrowers apply to
the. Bank for assistance. In the open market the
best short dated bills is about 10 per cent.
An amount of gold representing £40,000 was
_yesterday taken from the Bank for exportation.
The stoppage has been announced of Messrs.
liynaston, Sutherland, and Co., colonial brokers,
of Mincing-lane, whose liabilities are estimated at
£BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO. The books are in the hands
of Messrs. Kemp, Cannan, Ford, and Co.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under

These returns, when compared with those of the
corresponding period of last year, are of a very
favourable character, consequent upon the increased
Passenger traffic on most of the pleasure lines during
the Whitson holidays :—On the Lancashire and
Yorkshire there is an increase of £7,781 ; on the
Bristol and Exeter, £667 ; on the North-Eastern,
~.4,394 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £3,285 ;

credit, the numerous mercantile failures, and the
apprehension naturally engendered by the situation
of. Continental politics. Consols are now 86k
