Sir Michael Hicks Beach, in which the governor announced that the bank was prepared to carry out what is laid down as permissible in it's charter. namely, to hold one-ffth of the bullion held against its note issue in silver, pro- vided always that the French mint is again open to the free coinage of sil yer, and that the prices at which silver is procurable and salable are satisfac- tory, was held at the clearinghouse.
 POWERFUL INTERESTS REPRESENTED.
 There was large attendance of rep resentatives of powerful interests. Several of the prominent banks were not represented; but, according to the statements of those who participated in the meeting, their absence was due to the fact that the heads of the banks unrepresented are not in or near Lon don at the present time.

 A resolution protesting against the Bank of England's proposed action was adopted. This resolution will be em- bodied in letter to the governor of the Bank of England. The bankers who were present at the meeting were pledged to secrecy in regard to the pro ceedings
