It appears from those returns that whilst the metallic
reserve has declined, the discount accommodation and
amount of notes in circulation have increased considerably.
The falling off in the metallic reserve amounts to 241 mil-
lions, there being the small augmentation of 21 millions in
the branch-banks against a diminution of 27 millions in the
central establishment. The discount accommodation shows
a large increase both in Paris and in the departments—in
the former 45 millions and in the latter 224. The advances
on French Stock, railway securities, and bullion present no
very remarkable modification. The item of " Advances to
the State" has been increased from 30 millions to 60. On
the side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have in-
creased 341 millions. The account current of the Treasury
has advanced 81 millions. Private accounts-current are
27 millions higher in Paris whilst remaining unchanged in
the provinces. The whole amount of the metallic reserve
at present is 392 millions to 799 millions of notes in circu-
lation.
