Barngs' London Circular under date of Nov IS
says:
owe have had few failures of importance since our
last adyces of Sd iast and this circumstance alone
has given more tone TO commercial affairs. The mi
nmum rate of interest charged by the Bank of Eng
land will probable remain at per cent uutil after
the meeting of Parliament; but discount in other quart
is already to be had on cheaper terms And as
the general liabilities have become much re-
duccd there is growing impression that money in
the natural course of things must become easier
The Funds have advanced considerably, Consos
closing this afternoon at 81 for money and EXchcquc
Bills at IS. discount to par. The French Thrcc-pcr-
cent loan for two hundred and fifty millions has been
taken at frs. 1925, equivalent with discounts TO
cash price of frs 1880. In foreign colonial produce
there has been rather more disposition shown 10

ing districts trade still continues in very depressed
state
