Notes in circulation

Advances

coin and bullion ; but, should peace be restored,
the accumulation can hardly be expected to con-
tinue in the same ratio. The movement in the dis-
counts indicates a further increase in the demand
for money.

is 4 per cent., as against our 10 per cent. ; at
Vienna, Turin, Brussels, and St. Petersburg, 6 ;
