MONEY MARKET AND Clll7 NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
12th January, shows some important changes. In
the public deposits there is a decrease of upwards
of four millions, consequent upon the payment of
the dividends to the public, and in the private
deposits there is a proportionate increase, the
addition being about two millions sterling. The other
securities show a falling off of about a million and a
half, which is accounted for by the repayment of
advances made upon stock during the shutting of
the transfer books. In the bullion there is a slight
addition, but not of sufficient importance to attract
attention. The active circulation shows an aug-
mentation of about £200,000. In the other items
of the balance-sheet there is little alteration re-
quiring notice, and the various items will be seen
in the subjoined table :
