An the markets were more or less affected by an
alteration IN the Bank OF England rate OF discount
which, at the meeting OF the directors on Thursday
morning last raised from three TO four per cent.
This step was expected as a result OF the immense
speculative and investment demand for American
securities which has recently sprung up at the
Royal Exchange, dlverting money from home
paper and stocks TO q foreign channel and
threatening TO lead to specie shipments. Indeed,
NE fall In the rates for foreign exchange on
this side tended TO make such shipments profitable,
and sums variousy estimated at from two TO i've
millions Of dollars are now on the water coming
this way. The alteration was also felt In govern

was not long continued. IL started recovery IN

dose on Saturday assisted as it was by the expected
temand for bills to pay the coupon interest due
abroad. The list OF rates became quite unsettled
and, contrary TO the course OF things In the earlier
