The influx of foreign bullion to the Bank con-
tinues upon a large scale, there being no demand for
abroad : the amount sent in yesterday was 153,000 L,
making a total of 555,0001. for the week, while in
the same period no withdrawals for exportation
have been reported. It is also understood that no
further large remittances of sovereigns have been
made to Ireland, but that, on the contrary, a con-
siderable amount of coin is likely to arrive from
that quarter during the next few weeks. The
forthcoming Bank return, however, will be affected
by the payment of the dividends, which is always
attended with some absorption of coin.
