The Bank of England return for the week ending
the 14th inst. shows an increase in the Government
deposits, as usual at this period of the year, and as
the circulation has been diminished in consequence,
the reserve of notes, as well as the stock of bullion,
has been augmented. The "other securities" have
not been increased to any important extent, although
the demand for money has recently been rather
active. The other items of the balance-sheet show
no material change.
