financial authorities expressed the opinion
that the report was wholly without iounda-
tion, in fact, they asserted positively
that The bank of England had made
no such purchase OF bullion and was
not buying silver nov. Further than this
they declared that purchases of silver wero
moi being made by any London bank with
reference to the alleged intention OF The
Bank of England 10 issue pound notes. AZ
iention WIS drawn TO the fact thni neither
the Bank of England nor my other bank in

the old story that Goschen, chancellor OF
