• There is only a moderate inquiry for discount
accommodation, and the supply of money on offer
is very abundant. The unsatisfactory position of

the brokers, and 7 per cent. is the minimum rate in
the open market as well as at the Bank of England.
There were no gold operations at the Bank yes-
terday.
