but a large &cassia of spats has evidently
ban ocessioad by the influx of Treasury and private
deposits. The augmentation under these two heads
is more than two millions, much of which must have
ban paid in i coin. It is most eneoureging to find
that the cessation of the war leads so quickly to this
important improvement in the position of the Bank,
the more especially es the directors will now be
enabled to discontinue buying gold at a loss in Lon-
don, and thus disturbing our market. Probably the
restoration of peas has the effect of drawing back
into penal circulation a large amount of coin, the
boarding of whisk had been adored in many parts of
the country by the fear that the continuance of the
war and the extensive epee:elation in pregame
in Fresco would ere long lead to a finansisi aide.
The increase in the advances on stocks and slues is
not largo, whilst the circulation actually shows a di-
minution. Upon the whole the resources of the Bank
are thus materially augmented. Looking, however,
at the item of "Dille &mounted," there is room for
the desire that the Bank could be induced to afford a
larger mean of encouragement to legitimate com-
mercial traueetions. The trade of Franca seems by
no means so active as could be wished.

This return exhibits several unfavourable features.
The mast striking le the decrease of 392,2281. In the
coin and bullion. This is attributed chiefly to a re-
newed drain of gold to the seat of war, partly on
secount of the Turkish loan. The decrease in the
Treasury Wastes and is the " other " deposits tends
to corroborate this immemion. The Misr" sem-
rkies, though reducedthrough the repayment of
loans by 361,4684 still stand at a very high range.
The diminution in the notes unemployed is upwards
of 800,0001. In face of these changes, the main-
tenance of the existing rates of discount is not sur-
prising.

FIIDAT lemma.
The funds were flatter to-day, owing chiefly to the
anticipation of an unfavourable Bank return. The
abundant supply of ladies stock shown at the re-
sent settlement also checks the upward tendency.
Nevertheless eansidenble steadiness is evinced. In
the morning a reduction of I per cent. wen tempo-
rarily Tested, bat the closing quotations were only
i per cent. below those of yesterday.
In the discount market to-day there was a good
demand for money, but no pressure. In the Stock
Exchange the requirements were considerable. This
was "pay-day, when the "differences" resulting
from the last monthly amount in Consols were liqei-
dated. To-morrow the arrangements incidental to
the fortnightly share settlement will be commenced.
Console, which eloped yesterday at 9.3 i to for the
Bth of May, opened this morales at 93$ to f, re-
ceded toga*, and were teat quoted 93$ to $. For
