Rumors OF Irregularities in the Bank o
England Creating Uneasiness.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Bank OF Eng
land officials continue to retain reucence
in regard to the rumors IN circulation as
to the bad fnanciering on its part. II is
stated on good autnUrity, however that
the banks connection with bad finan-
ciering is practically limited TO its trans
action in the South American and Mex
lean company which has been ventilated
i'm the courts, and 10 the fact that there
have been Irregularities in regard 20 I'D
vance. These Irregularities are appar-
emily confined 10 allowing favored Gus
toners TO substitute less desirable Sc
curities for those upon which money was
originally lent Nothing can be learned
as to the banks losses.
The Times says this morning, in its
financial article concerning rumors OF
Irregularities in the Bank Of England:
Probably we have heard the last. of
these rUmors in London, but as likely
as not the uneasiness Will remain in
places remote from here. Still we think
the bank would do well to make known
how small, comparatively is the basis
on which the reports rested. The ma
jority OF city men are Of o3T opinion, bat
the minority, holding that the least said
the sooner mended, Is a respectable one.
The minority mas an argnaOle case, us
argument being that a declaration by
the bank would be q precedent by which
the bank wound be bound whenever
rurnors Of losses should arise.
The Standard says: The meeting of the
bank directors yesterday was rather pro-
tracted. AS the story went, they dis
cussed whether designations Of the d.
rectors should be accepted. The names
were even mentioned, though entirely
without official authority. Whatever the
intentions Of any members may haN
been, IL is certain that none actually re-
signed. il would be unseemly, even
pernicious, If any did so at this tuncture.'
The Daily Telegraph says, this morn
ing in it's financial columns: The exact
amount of the advances made by Mr..
Nav. the retiring chief cashier OF the
bank. upon certain securities, has not
transpired. 1t is stated that the loss Is
hot likely to exceed 1900 pounds.
