THE BANK OF FRANCE. THE Monthly Debtor and Creditor Account of the Bank of France was published in the Moniteur of yesterday morning. Mr. W. Avens, stock and share broker, of Tokenhouse-yard, in his circular of yesterday, says : The changes shown by it, upon a comparison with the return for the previous month, are not of a very important character. The most prominent among them is the fact that the demand for money has been sufficiently active to compel the Bank to enlarge its commercial discounts and its advances on securities to the extent of nearly 800,0001. But, on the other hand, private depositors have increased their balances, while those of the public are considerably heavier; so that, notwithstanding the pressure from trade, the Bank has found no difficulty in providing for the de mand. The Private Securities now amount to 21,313,3821., independent of Rentes, bullion, and shares, being the highest amount of the year, so far. Compared with the previous return of April 10, the following are the principal changes in the position of the establishment during the month, expressed in English currency at an exchange of twenty-five francs to the pound sterling:— Decrease in Circulation .. Increase in Public Deposits Increase in Other Deposits Increase in Commercial Discounts 6705 Decrease in Bullion Increase in Advances on Bullion Increase in Advances on Public Securities 29,576 Decrease in Advances on Railway Securities _ Increase in Premiums on Purchase of Gold and Silver 9,954 Circulation (May 14) Stock of Bullion (May 14) The whole advances made by the Bank are shown com• paratively in the following table : Commercial Discounts Advances on Bullion .. „ Public Securities „ Railway „ MAY.

The premiums paid on gold and silver purchases during the current half•year now amount to 67,3001. MAY 16, 1857. BANK OF ENGLAND.
