Both the reserve and the coin and bullion have
again declined, but the draught upon them is et-
pWned by the payment of the dividends, which
commenced on Tuesday, the 14th. The decrease in
the government deposits is fully balanced by the
increase in the private deposits, while the Bank's
receipts in the shape of repayments of loans on pri-
vate securities have been neutralised by its purchase
of government securities—the latter representing
probably a temporary assistance granted by the
Bank to government at the turn of the quarter.
