This reduction has been efflK^ted, almost wholly by payment of B,ll8 discounted, and other de1>t8 due to the Bank paid or reduced.

In dealing with the customers of the Bank, no undue pressure has been used and it has not been necessary to put m suit twenty bills. Those remarks hold good of the discounts at evejy oAce of the Bank andthe facts show conclusively tnc general character of the business. j ^ tuo «iuik, aua uie lacts The special advance of $800,000 made by the Bank of Montreal, in the end of September last, has been paid ; and the intervention of the Sank, m resjwct of the Bills held m collateral, has only been re„+^», tt.
