The determination ol mos, Of our Banks to refuse
my but their own notes specie Tor debts ue tbcn,
Is innicting upon The commercial community Tho
most serious Inconvenience. We have nlso heard
that some Of the suspended banks have transCerrcd
q portion Of their portfolios 10 those paying spec,e
and which will take nothing but specie ir payment
This is intoofablc, and no merchant should submit
10 H. The effect Of such a course IL 10 make The
debtors 10 those banks pay specie, whilst tho banks
are IN state OF suspension. This arrangement hos
probably ooen made 10 enable tho suspended banks
10 redeem their notes held hy the specie pavioc
banks Now wo would ask n tho merchants wbo
Owe debts 70 tho suspended banks have not ne
much right to pay their debts IN the paper Of the
BANK as tho specie paying banks hive to purchase
mercantile paper Tor suspended hank notes and re
qulfe specie ~ payment II Is monsifons that the
speGc-paying banks should he allowed 10 take IN
paper with the notes Of suspended banks. and thus
prevent the merchant from t1king mp hs paper with
tho very notes he received Tor IT, a. a matter 81
strict right md justice, any merchant, whose note
hos been Transferred from a suspended bank To n
specie paying ono, ought 70 be allowed 10 take Il up
with tho notes Of the bank from which IL was trans.
fouod. For n he pays his noto - transferred in
specie, the bank holding II will hive received specie
Tor tho hank notes poid Tor IL, whilst the community
can get nothing in tho shape Of coin for the ssuos
Of the suspended banks held them.
