The movements in the deposits are almost
equally balanced, but, as tho Bank's loan and dis-
count business, as indicated by the movement in
the " other" securities, has again fallen off con-
siderably, the reserve has experienced a fresh in-
crease of 377,33.51., and now exceeds fourteen mil-
lions. During the week a net amount of 126,0001.
in gold was sent into the Bank from abroad, and
as the coin and bullion have increased 366,2301. it
is evident that there is a considerable reflux of
coin from the provinces.
