LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Bank Of England's
proportion of assets to liabilities has been
restored to q safe level. The market is and

abroad and to the lessened power of attract
ing money to England. Hence with the in.
creased demand for currency here there are
no means available to replenish the good sup
ply and there is no prospect of an immediate
return to cheap money.
