On the last day of the month Sir Vezey Strong, though hope ful, was still conscious that the position was critical as the whole situation hung upon the extension of time prayed for in order that the purchase fund should be brought up to the amount requisite to allow the Bank to forego its declared.intentions regarding the demoli tion of the old building and the erection on that site of new Bank, premises.

Meanwhile it is impor tant to state that, despite the great public interest already evinced, and the support given to the committee, it must not be understood that the preservation scheme is secure. It is necessary to urge upon the public that every, contribution received by the Bank of England and every guarantee. given adds to the strength of the position, and that continued support is essential if the hall is to be saved.

THE PATE ON CROSBY HALL. It is a thousand pities to see that the grand old Crosby Hall, built by a famous Lord Mayor four and a half centuries ago, is like ly, from what the telegrams tell us, to be sacrificed to the earth-hunger of a meritorious but altogether unsentimental financial insti. tution, the Chartered Bank, who have acquir ed the site and buildings thereon, and mean, unless some God from the Machine inter venes, to demolish it and raise on the area London office sufficient for their business requirements. These are the feelings of regret given expression to by the 'dingapore Free Press. The writer, in our Southern contemporary, proceeds to lament the prospective act of Vandalism in an editorial in the following torme. In justice to the Bank authorities they have been willing to stay their hand while, in from extinction except the sudden interven-op.

Owing to the nature of the goods stored in the ghdown, the fire roared fiercely and some apprehension was felt for the safety of the adjoining houses. This anxiety soon evaporated, however, for in the next few minutes the firemen had control of the flames, which were soon afterwards extinguished. The origin of the fire is believed to be the upsetting of a kerosene oil lamp on a parcel of goods, The first and second floor, which were not covered by lasurance, were mostly damaged by, water and smukt.
