The Bank of England Directors have diminished the
issues of notes to some extent again this week, and
within a fortnight the circulation has been circum-
scribed to the extent of about 350,0001., although the
bullion has increased nearly 80,0001. Is this prepara •
tory to making money scarcer, and raising the terms for
accommodation in Threadneedle street? The features
in the return from the 28th ult. to the sth inst. are
briefly these:—
