The withdrawals of private deposits indicate a
more active employment for money iu the general
market, and have mainly contributed to the reduc-
tion in the reserve. The private securities, how-
ever, continue to decline. The increase in the coin
and bullion amounts to lees than one-third of the
sum known to have been sent into the Bank during
the week : the deficiency is to be accounted for
by the absorption of coin for harvest purposes, as
usual at this season.
