Ine return of the Bank of England shows severa'
changes of importance, though none sufficiently im-
portant to indicate any change to be impending over
the rate of discount. The bullion has increased, but
not to the extent that was expected from the reports
of the purchases made during the week • while the
reserve of notes and coin has fallen off, chiefly in
consequence of the requirements of the period in con-
nection with harvest and other engagements. The
circulation is consequently higher, and the securities
have enlarged. The public deposits have received a
Moderate addition. The following are the principal
changes compared with the previous return :
Increase in Circulation
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease in other Deposits 261,100
No change in amount of Government Securities.
Increase in other Securities
Increase in Bullion ....••• 72,552
Increase in Rest
Decrease in Reserve
Bullion in both Departments 20,846,653
Reserve of Notes and Coin
Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 24,860,132
As the rest or undivided profits amounts to
£611,000 above the three millions which is always
Inaintained, it is probable that the six months' divi-
dend about to be declared will be 4 per cent.
