THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

Something the Matter with the Old Lady
Admitted by the London Times
LONDON, Jan. 9.-The Times pub
fishes long letter. which is attracting
much attention. It deals with the crit
icism of the Bank OF England's position
and says that it is true that serious ir-
regularities have lately come to light
in the management Of the bank, but
that nothing has happened to justify
the language used during the last two
months. It continues: sit is impossi-
BILE to dispense with the banks service
to the money market. If the bank has
had to keep the crown reserves instead
of pooling their reserves at the bank
they would be obliged to have much
larger reserves than at present.
The Times then proceeds to offer
various suggestions tending to improve
the banks position and says that it
must increase its discount business by
encouraging and not by discouraging
the visits of bill brokers. The present
system of changing the governor of
the Bank of England every two years
should be abolished and a permanent
official should be provided for in pref
erence to chief cashier with high
salary. a reduction in the average age
of the committee of the treasury who,
according to the Times. are inclined to
be too conservative regarding general
management, is recommended.

COLUMBUS. O., Jan. Gov. McKin-

principal aides to the chief marshal.
Other democrats of state or national
reputation were conspicuous in the GER

count that the governor refrained
from touching especially upon political
topics.

cause.
