tances of gold to America. The reserve of notes
has been lessened to about a like amount. The :1
public deposits through the payment of the half-
yearly dividend have been reduced by about four
millions sterling, and there is consequently a large
addition to the private balances. In the Other
Securities a decrease of about a million and a half

18 apparent, owing to the repayment of loans upon sty:
Stock, and in the Government Securities there is sett/
also a considerable decrease. The other items of et;
