Mad of the changes in the position of the Bank of
England ae shown by yesterday's return are attribu-
table to circumstances connected with the close of the
quarter. Thus, there is a falling-off in the Bullion
and also in the Reserve, when an increase might have
been expected in the first from the inflow of gold and
111 the second from the moderate character of the
demand for money. B.)th may be explained, how-
ever, by the payment of public and other salaries,
and by the adjustments made at the end of the
qr..arter on the 20th, the return being made up to
the evening of the 30th. The public deposits never-
theless show an increase, to which a further advance
from the Government has contributed. As may be
expected from the season, there is a falling-off in the
private deposits. The general effect of these changes
to a largo accession to the circulation. The following

excess of the corresponding period of 1867.
.With the exception of tobacco all branches of the
traffic show an increase, but in sugar it is very
considerable. This is in part attributable to the
one season as contrasted with a bad one, and also
to the increasing use of the line by planters. The
cash balance in London will only enable a dividend
of 3 per cent. to be paid for the half-year, although
3i has been earned, the deficiency having been
unavoidable, owing to the expenditure required for
stores and maintenance. The directors have plea-
sure in stating that their relations with the Imperial
Government continue on the best footing."
