THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Investigation of Certain irregularities
Not Completed.

Not Completed.
LONDON, Nov. l5.-The Times this
morning, referring to rumors adverse to
the Bank of England, says: The investi-
CATION of certain Irregularities with re-
gard to advances on securities are pro-
ceeding, but it is probable the losses will
be much less than have been alleged. and
the reports OF the retirement OF the di-
rectors are erroneous. While it is diff
cult TO fix the blame on individual di-
rectors, we are of the opinion that there
must be serious fault in the system under
which the irregularities occurred.
1t appears TO us that on the present oc-
casion the bank will be well advised to
depart from its customary and proper
practice of ignoring such rumors, and
publish facts which concern the pu bile in
advance of the half-yearly meeting.
Though the bank is private corporation
it is also a national institution, and
therefore ought to reassure the public
when uneasiness has been created by
false rumOrS.
