The Bank of England return, completed to the
14th inst, shows some favourable changes. The
bullion has been increased by the limited amounts
of the remittances to New York, and the arrivals
of gold from the Continent. The reserve of notes
shows an addition of about half a million, and the
securities discounted have been diminished by over
a quarter of a million sterling. Both the public
and private deposits show a slight augmentation,
and there is a decrease in the active circulation.
The other items of the balance sheet present little
change of importance ; they will be seen in the
subjoined table.
