3. It will be observed, in the case of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation that although the amount of their notes in circulation is less by g1,535 than the amount of the notes in circulation on the Slat of December 1914, the deficiency in the value of the securities deposited has increased from £388,423.6.3.
