LONDON, Aug. 24.-DiSconnt was easy
during the past week at 5000. The
decline in the Bank of England rate,
the lower rates for money and the con-

srtong. Though the present price of the
metal is the highest touched for a dozen
years, the opinion here is that the quo
tation will ultimately reach SD. The
