There has been a full demand for money to-day,
although provision had been generally made for the
bills maturing on the 4th and due to-day. Bankers
and bill-brokers have ample supplies to loan out,
but finding au augmented inquiry, they naturally
enough ask a little more for all kinds of mercantile
paper. A few days ago transactions were arranged
at 3:11, but now the minimum in the open market is
firm at 4 per cent., with an upward tendency. In
the course of a few days, however, it is not impro-
bable that greater easiness will temporarily prevail,
as trade is quiet, and gold continues to flow into the
-vaults of the Bank of England.
Mr. T. M. Harrington, recently arrived by the
Yorkshire from the colony, has been appointed
manager of the London establishment of the Na.-:
tional Bank of Australia.
Bar gold amounting to £lOO,OOO was received at
the Bank yesterday, as well as 8,000 sovereigns
from Malta. There was also a withdrawal for
Alexandria of 7,000 sovereigns.
The following communication has been received :
In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co., it is noti-
fied that the Attorney-General, who has been retained by
the Defence Association, announced to the Court to-day
that by an arrangement the question as to the call stands
over until next Thursday.
Sir,—l beg to inform you, as one of the creditors
Who signed the request to me to act as creditors' repre-
sentative, that the application for my appointment came
before the chief clerk yesterday. It was not granted, but it
was ordered that notice should be given to me, as repre-
senting the creditors, of the proceedings in all cases where
the judge thought it advisable.
. The object of my application was to secure the creditors'
interests being properly represented in all the important
'natters constantly arising in the course of this liquidation.
While I should have preferred having a recognised posi-
tion, yet I shall still do my best to watch over the creditors'
interests, so far as the limited powers possessed by me will
• enable me to do so.—l am, &c.,
CHARLES OPPENNEINI.
