on Falling Off in Redis-
counts; Local Bank Shows
Pronounced Improvement

After showing slight loss for the

nesday again reported an increase in
this >atio of total reserves to deposit

per cent, compared with go per cent
the week previous. TO what extent
defation of credits has progressed is
indicated by the fact that a year ago
the ratio was down to 43.9 per cent.
The improved showing last week was
due more to falling off in rediscount
operations than to marked increase
in gold reserves, the increase in the
latter item being only S14.738. On the
other hand, total borrowings of the
