CITY, Two o'CLooK.
The return issued from the Bank of England for
the week ending Thursday last shows that the
Directors, if they bad felt inclined, could have re-
duced the minimum another per cent., a fur-
ther improvement having taken place in the
general situation of the establishment. Owing
to the limited demand for money the
reserve of notes continues to increase, and the
other securities are still diminishing in a rapid
manner. The decline last week was nearly half a
million, which will account for the reduction in the
amount of private deposits. While, however,
these movements increase, the available re-
sources of the Bank are so far satisfactory that
they are indicative of the stagnation of trade, and
it is encouraging to be able to discern symptoms of
revival which may soon increase the demand for
discount accommodation. The principal items and
the changes they present are as subjoined :--

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon all
slightly receded.
Some small parcels of gold were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday ; but they wore balanced by a
similar amount being taken in.
Silver is firm, but businese is quiet, and bars are
now quoted at ss. 10. per oz. standard.
Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and the sales
amounted to 7,000 bale, 1,000 of velech were
taken for export and on speculation. The Thal
way Share Market closed steadily.
The half-yearly meeting of the General Screw
Collier Company was held this day. The repott
Was adopted, and the die ecto.s authorised to take
measures to wind up the company.
The Funds have been rather firmer to. day, but
the market has exhibited a very inactive appear-
ance. Only a few transactions have taken place,
and these have led to no particular alteration, but
the tendency has been favourabl and an advance
of 1 per cent, took place. Cons As for transfer and
the 4th of March have been 961 to 97k. They are
now 97 to 97k, and for April 974 The New
Three per Cents. are 97a f, and the Reduced 9713
Exchequer Bills have further advanced, viz.,
to 40s. and 41.. premium, and India Bonds have
been dull at 6s. premium.
Business in Foreign Securities has been rather
limited, but quotations have generally advanced.
