RISE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The Monitear publishes a notification from the
Emperor, founded upon an address from the
Minister of Finance,
in which he says that he
sees with pain credit imperilled, chimerical fears
propagated, and delusive remedies proposed for
for an imaginary evil. The law permitting the
Bank to raise discount must suffice to keep bul-
lion in better condition than last year. His Ma-
jesty requests the minister formally to contradict
the rumours ascribed to Government.

The Bank has raised the rate of discount to 8
per cont. for bills under 30 day",
9 per cent.
under GO days, and 10 per cent, under 90 days.
