The principal changes in this week's Bank return
are caused by the dividend payments, although, as
they commenced only on Wednesday morning, only a
supgie day's distribution is shown by the account. The
first day's payments are usually confined to banks and
Public establishments. The Public Deposits conse-
quently show a lame diminution ; but, on the other
hand, a great proportion of the amount disbursed re-
appears in the shape of Private Deposits, while the
Lanai's own share in these payments is shown by the
considerable accession to the amount of the Rest.
„The Government appears to have borrowed £400,000
froth the Bank upon Deficiency Bills, which of course
Rill yield seine profit ; but there is a heavy falling off
in the Private Securities of more than two millions
sterling. These changes, important as they are, have
been effected with but little disturbance to the
and Reserve. The following are the prin-
cipal variations iu the position of the Bank since the
receding return :
Decrease in Circulation - £1,722
Decrease in Public Deposits
Increase in other Deposits
Increase in Government Securities

Plio is a satisfactory aggregate. As there have
een no Stock Exchange settlements in the week,
and as there is no reason to believe that trade has
Materially improved, it is probable that the amount
maY have been influenced to some extent by adjust-
Ments connected with the beginning of the last half
of the year.
