There is a great scarcity Of change both silver
and Fmsll notes, and tradesmen find it difficult to
: keep themselves supplied, ard Numbers have re-
sorted to issuing tickets not currency, bat as
good in payment for the particular article they deal
ia. We saw enc the ether day, gotten up In regu
lao bank note style, issued by saloon keeper which
was good for" twenty ava IN liquor.
There are several propositions of fnancill char
acter before the Lagislatuae enc Of which looks to
the prohibition Of the buying and selling Of Silver
change Of the denomination of fifty cents and un
der. It's thought the passage Of such bill will
have the effect of inducing parties holding Silver
change to throw. i: into circulation. Another bill
prohibits brokers and others from charging more
than FIVE Per cent premium for Gold and Silver
There several propositions before the LegislsS
ture authorizing parties and corporations to issue
change tiekets-frsctious OF = do!lIr-and bills OF
tie denomination OF Oae two, three, and four dol
lars. Eu the Legislature does not seem Inclined to
pass these bills. The members admit the scarcity
Of change, and that they my have to do something
to supply it. They argue, however, if they 60,
that the old Banks SHOULD be authorised to issue
change tickets. This policy seem1 TO meet with
more favor than any that has yet been preached
and it is likely if any thing is DONE this policy viii
be adopted. We hear that the old Banks in this
city doing al they can to furnish the commun-
i-y with bills Of less denomination than five dol.
lars, but Tie want Of bank note paper Is a serious
o5sngls.
