the deposits having increased about five and half
millions OF which 1t Is TAR presume at least four
millions were paper money shipped from the IN.
terror the amount OF legal tenders being specified
In an average OF nearly two millions. There Is
small decrease In specie, resulting from the con-
tinued heavy demand for customs payments.
The loans show an expansion OF nearly four
millions, owing doubtless to the readiness OF the
banks to lend out the national bank notes with
which they were so plentifully supplied during the
week. The proportion OF reserve to liabilities re-
mains without important variation. The statement
contrasts with It's predecessor as fOlows:-
