The demand for money having considerably improved, this week's return

shows an increase of about one million sterling in the amount of securities held by the Bank. The minimum rate of discount at that establishment remains, however, at 6 per cent. ; but in the open market the lowest price is 5jj, or about one-quarter per cent. higher than at the close of last week. The stock of bullion in the Bank is 14,319,0611.
