A .RETIREMENT.

There are few men in the London Discount Market who are better known, and none more highly esteemed, than Mr. Philip H. Wade, Director and Manager of the National Dis- count Company, Limited. It was, therefore, with much regret that the Discount Market learned recently of his im- pending retirement from the Chairmanship of the London Discount Houses Committee. The Committee met this week to elect a new Chairman and Vice-Chairman when Mr. Robert Callander Wyse, Manager of the Union Discount Company, formerly Vice-Chairman, was elected Chairman, and Sir Alfred E. Tritton, Bart., Senior Partner of Messrs. Brightwen, was elected Vice-Chairman. The occasion was marked by many expressions of appreciation of the services rendered by the retiring Chairman.
