Between the 7th ult., when the Bank minimu was
raised from 6 to 7 per cent., and the 15th instm ~ the
ad date of the last published return, a marked improve-
ment baa taken place in the accounts of that estab-
lishment, as denoted by a rise in the reserve (notes
and coin) from 5,105,6771. to 7,174,9731., an in-
crease in the coin and bullion from 13,183,837/. to
13,677,098/., and a decrease in he private
secu-
rities from 24,170,260/. to 19t,308 g
a diminution of 4,8431,3981. There can be little
doubt, moreover, that since the return of the 15th
inst. the improvement must have been very decided,
for the influx of gold has been large. The amount
taken there yesterday was no lees than 226,000/.,
makiog a total of 577,0001. for the week, while
the withdrawals for export in the same period have
reached only 38,0001. It is also probable that
there has been a further reflux of coin from the
provinces.
