LIONEI MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGEN CE,

CITY, One o'Clock.
The returns of the Bank of England bears out all
that has been said during the past
,week concerning
the Money Market. The gold has further increased
£673,086—a sum only to a small extent in excess of
the arrivals known to have been purchased. It is
probable therefore that we shall not hear much more
of the influx of gold from the provinces, especially
now that the season of agricultural activity is arriving.
The slight increase in the bills discounted would indi-
cate that business is not falling off, a view which is
supported by the satisfactory total of cheques and bills
Passed through the clearing house during the same
period. As compared with the previous return, the
following, are the changes :
Increase in Circulation
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease in other Deposits
N'J change in amount of Government Securities.
