Market. the inquiries being numerous, and the
rates are firmly maintained in consequence.

accommodation, under the Bank minimum,
land higher terms are exacted for long
tatted bills. Still it is thought that the
authorities will be immediately compelled to
raise the minimum to 3 per cent., although the
measure may be announced earlier than has been
anticipated if the public show a willingness to
encourage new projects. During the last few
eelzs a large amount of money has been subscribed
17 two or three joint-stock companies which have
been successfully introduced, and the payments
reflected with tho recent issue of £1,600,000 East
