Ine return of the Bank of England shows sever&
changes of importance, though none sufficiently im-
portant to indicate any change to be impending over
the rate of discount. The bullion has increased, bul
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
Increase in Rest ...•••
