much now to live in Paris as in New York,

having descended to an extremely low figure
The bark ought to, according to the old rules,
raise its rate Of discount. The reasons for its
not doing so are chiefly ascrbed to the fact that
the money Withdrawn from it is wholly for TO-
ternal requirements.
This mornings Finarcier says: SHOULD
there be an active foreign drain Of gold. the
bank s minimum rate of discount might be ex
pected to leap to FIVE per cent 10 week."
The rate now is three per cent.
There is remarkable absence of news re-
speeding the progress of tie negotiations be.
tween England and Russia. but the latest i'm.
pressions are more hopeful.
