"SILvER," says the Philadelphia Lcdg-
er, 1--WE understand is fast coming from

this city, we understand, hold over three
million dollars in silver. One bank in
the interior, we are advised, holds about
seven hundred thousand dollars in silver,
and all the banks all over the country
hold a greater or less amount"
