BANK OF ENGLAND APPOINTMENTS.

It was a foregone conclusion that when Mr. B. G. Catterns, until recently the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England, had been elected to the Bank Court he would be relinquishing the Chief Cashiership. During the past week the interesting announcement was made that Mr. K. 0. Peppiatt, M.C., the Principal of the Discount Office, had been appointed as Chief Cashier, while Mr. E. N. Travers, the Principal of the Branch Banks Office, had been appointed Principal of the Discount Office. Both of these appointments have commanded approval in the City and, indeed, few officials in the Bank have come into more direct contact during recent years with the Money Market as a whole than Mr. Peppiatt. = A.
