The markets for public securities are inactive
to-day, and the changes in pcices are neither nume-
rous nor important. Consols are without variation.
Railway stocks are steady, with a few exceptions.
Foreign bonds are dull, and a decline has taken
place in some of them. The most noteworthy
movement is in the Viceroy of Egypt's Loan,
Colonial Government Debentures met with inquiry.
American securities, as well as banking and finan-
cial shares, are quiet.

The comparison of the week's total is disturbed by
the occurrence of a holiday.
The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes:
Coin aal bullion
Bills diacounteill Decrease 130,000
Notes in circulation
Private deposits lncrease 120,000
Adresse.
Tremor. Winos
The falling off in the coin and bullion is
trivial, the total held being no less than
44,945,000!. The commercial demand for money,
as indicated by the movement in the discounts,
shows a renewed decline.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
endingWedneaday, April lb, oompared with that for
the previous week, shows the following .

The Bank figures are still affected by the dividend
payments. The large withdrawals of private depo-
sits have been fully made up to the Bank by the
influx of government deposits, combined with the
repayment of advances on private securities, and
the reserve consequently shows a small increase.
During the week the Bank received, on balance,
77,000/. in gold from abroad, the whole of which,
together with a further sum of 113,797/., appears
to have been taken away by the receivers of the
dividends.
