LONDON, March 2.-The Minining
Lane leading markets show no sign Of
Improvement in business. The chief

Still the supply of bills remains large,
which is proof of the complete stagna-
tioD of trade.
The stock markets show some note
worthy changes on the adverse side.

authentic information shout the peace

the bank OF England's rate of discount
also assists the depression, on We'd
nesdsy aud Thursday. There WIS

ministerial announcements would be
made In parliament. The decline has

Hungarian, United States and Scotch
