It appears from these returns, that the metallic
reserve, the discount accommodation, and the
amount of notes in circulation,have all diminished:
The falling off in the metallic reserve is but trifling,
amounting to 21 millions, there being an increase
of 81 millions in the Paris establishment to a
decline of 111 millions in the branch banks. The
diminution in the discount accommodation is more
considerable, and has taken place both in Paris
and in the provinces, being 171 millions in the
former and 61 in the latter, or 23i millions in all.
The advances on French rente and on railway
securities have also fallen off both in Paris and the
departments, the decline varying from 1
