The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, August 29, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes:
Circulation issue £29,732,115 Increase £41,480
Circulation active 23,808,510 Decease MAO
Public deposits 4,137,048 Lathes 711,400

The Real
Notes in reserve
Total reserve (notes & coin)
in banking depurtaient 6,93,510 lamas 1,343,406
The changes in the above account are unusually
important. The running off of the other securities
and the addition to the public deposits have owed
an increase of 1,343,4051. in the reserve, notwith-
standing n diminution of the other deposits. The
augmentation in the bullion • shows that about
300,0001. in sovereigns has been received from the
provinces, the arrivals from abroad having been
little more than threeluarters of a million. The
decrease in the rest arises from the usual adjust-
ment of the amounts preparatory to the declaration
of the dividend.
