structivsly, in review and compaFison:-
In a retrospect of the year, few leading facts
are worthy of notices: The bullion in the BanlS
of England isnow about E ,000, 900 sterling; at
the same period last year it was about 20 mill
ions.--Therate Of discount on first class bills was
7-S to per cent, it is now 5 to5 la. The
price ofConsols was 100 Is it is now IS per cent
Exchequer bills were at Sos to 62s premium, they
are now 5s 70 Is premium. Labor is now about
80 per cent higher Wheat has advanced from
36s to 74s. Cotton has not varied materially

has risen 80 per cent; copper from fl02to fl26
per tun; Scotch pig iron from 62s to 90s do; TIN

per cent, while gold is received at the Bank of
England al the standard price. Rents have not
changed at all in London yet the great increase
ofbulldings has fully supplied the demand.

of means at the disposal Of England for other OBJ
jects
The summing up ofthe above facts is ths:--l

lished in The face Of adverse, events-W War, and
scarcity of breadstuffs- show an average depre.
