11dONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The variations in the different items of the
balance-sheet of the Bank of England completed to
the 30th May are not of an important character.
The bullion, owing to the absence of arrivals from
Australia, shows only a small addition, while the
increase in the circulation has tended to reduce the
reserve of notes. The diminished demand for
money is shown in the decrease in the other secu-
rities. The other portions of the balance-sheet and
the changes they present are shown in the annexed
table :
