The Economist says: "Tbc rate Of dis
count for three months bills is IL. There
has been q farther Improvement in stocks,
and but for the attempt TO assassinate the
Emperor OF Germany the Improvement
would have been more general. The con-
dition OF the market. however, has heen on
the whole satisfactory, and it is thought
that realizations By spectators taking their
profits on the recent rise have helped to
check the advance; still the chief move
ments are OH favorable side. United
States Governments show little change,
although it is understood the syndicate ope-
rations are entirely successful, which means
an increased supply OF four-and-a-hali per
cent. bonds. In railway securities, the rise
in Erie.and New Jersey Central shares have
been the leading incidents"
The Times, in its financial article, says ::
"Thc Bank OF England has resolved hence
forth to discontinue the Use Of the word
minimum in announcing the discount
rate. The banks announcements, there
fore will be understood to mean about the
medium OF good bills; but the bank is free,
like other banks, to cha! sc above or below
the announced rate, according to circum-
stances. The ultimate result will be that
the open market rate, not the banks, will
become the standard for money contracts"
