Not by any means unexpectedly, the cable advices
from London were important the Bank of England
having advanced the minimum rate of discount
from four per cent at which it has ruled for several
weeks to four and half the Bank losing on balance
Gl1S000 sterling. This step does not appear to have
been taken because Of any apprehension in regard
10 the future outlook nor should any special sgnif-
cance be attached TO the fact that the change was
made outside Of the regular day of meeting of the
managers, az the last rate was made On an extra
day. The step is doubtless taken a method OF
protection, since the continental bank rates have
been raised and done to check the outflow Of British
capital consequent thereon. Both consols and
American securities were lower on it, however. This
was the only consideration affecting gold
to-day, and tho effect was 10 create frmer
market without impartng renewed activity. Bar
