The increased demand for money has led to an
augmentation of 339,7261. in the Bank's advances
on private securities ; and there have been, more- I
over, withdrawals of private deposits to the extent
of nearly a quarter of a million. Owing chiefly,
however, to the influx of 519,7831. of Government
deposits, the reserve presents on balance a small
increase. The addition-127,9051.—to the coin I
and bullion is about 78,0001. in excess of the
amount of newly imported gold sent into the Bank
during the week, and from this it may be inferred
that there is still some tendency to a return of coin
the provinces.
