About two years ago, when the Transvaal loan was issued, the Bank of England was severely criticised for having with the object of defeating the "stags," decided that no applica fion for less than £2,000 would be entertained On that occasion £30,000,000 was offered for subscription, and applications amounting to no lem than £1,174,000,000 were received from 115,400 applicants. The Governor of the Bank subsequently stated that there were 49,000 applications of L100, and, in his opinion, not more than one in Bity of these were from genuine investors. The semainder, he let it be inferred, were from "stags," and he declared that the Bank had blocks of applications bear. ing either the same name or the same cheque It was known at the time in connection with that loan that "stags" had sent in applications in their own names, in the names of their relatives, of their clerks and sometimes even of the domestic servants, the idea being to many allotments as possible, as before the loan actually came out it was quoted in the Stock Exchange at a higher price than that at which it was to be issued.

The argument put forward by the critics of the Bank of England's action was that there were big "stage" as well au small, and that many of the applicants for large amounts who reroived allotments merely intended to use them for "stagging" purposes.
