The return of the BAnk of England clearly indi-
cates a low demand for money at that establishment.
The reserve has again enlarged, while the private
securities have declined. And that the open market
has taken what little business there is may be inferred
from the diminution in the private deposits. The
bullion shows a falling off, notwithstanding the week's
'purchases, the explanation being that the coin circu-
lation has been greatly enlarged by harvest and other
requirements incidental to the season. the following
are the changes since the preceding return :
Decrease in Circulation
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease in other Deposits .. 153,761
No change in amount of Government Securities.
Decrease in other Securities
Decrease in Bullion
Increase in Rest
Increase in Reserve
Bullion in both Departments . 20,736,148
