Both the ury and the private deposits have
declined considerably, but this movement is to a
great ,:tent compensated by the reduction in the
amount of securities, arising from the repayment of
the quarterly advances made by the Bank previous
to the dividends. The decline in the reserve is thus
of only moderate amount. The decrease in the
coin is of no importance, and is attributable to the
payment of the dividends.
