Critical State Of the Bank of England
There are two millions of sovereigns in the
Bank With these two millions England
must face the corn markets of Europe, Asia,
and Amortization corn they must get, come
whence it may and cost whatit will Now,
in September, last year, the Bank had sew
eral millions OF bullion at her command,
aud discounted at A l2 per cent. But four
millions of her sovereigns-we have heard
the amount rated higher-were distracted
by the farmers Of the rest of the world for
their superfluous grain: inasmuch as, dur
ing all this period, the exchanges were un-
favorable. The pressure for gold continuing
month after month and week after week the
bank became alarmed, advanced her dis
counts to 5; that did not do; to 5 l-2 nei-
ther did that to 6-and 6 has been found
nnavaiIing; the gold is still going. If,
therefore, the bank has been so thoroughly
affected by meeting bad harvest with sew
en- millions Of gold and silver in her pockets,
how can she stand worse harvest with on
ly two? This is a question that must be
answered, and very speedily TOO.

Threatened Scarcity of Proyisions.-
The scarcity of corn is still felt, aud the
crisis becomes more alarming from day 10
day. Sad "reminiscences are connected
with this calamity, and the terrible scare
ity Of coin previous TO the revolution of
1889, the guillolining of Louis XVI. and
other scenes Of the reign of terror, give rise
to fearful anticIpatlons. Unfortunately the
