These changes are of great numerical importance,
rn owing to the payment of ;,he dividends which com-
menced on Wednesday. Against the heavy decrease
in the government deposits, however, must be set
the increase in the private deposits (which is un-
usually large), and the decrease in the private
securities. Ou balance there is a decline of nearly
half-a-million in the reserve. The decrease in the
cuiu is also occasioned by the payment of the divi-
dends.
