This -smaller Increase in reserve is, however, clearly due to tho reduction of $S.584.100 In public deposits during the wepk. the largest reduction in this Horn since the Secretary of the Treasury commenced com-menced to contribute through deposit: of public funds in the New York banks to the relief of the. local banking situation.
