have been merely transferred from the public to the
private deposits, and as the repayment of the quar-
terly advances has caused a decrease of 1,199,9791.
in the "other" securities, the decrease in the reserve
is less than a quarter of a million. The falling off in
the coin and bullion is also very moderate.
