section are now in the market, and appear
ances are not very favorable TO their early
return for further supplies OF goods Orders
from that quarter, also come forward rather
sparfngly, and manufacturers are mostly

almost entirely Stagnant. Rates Tor all kinds,
except In very dIIninutive lots, are quite
nominal, and might be quoted lower II there
are any transactions to 6ase quotations upon.

A Letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury to the Chairman of the
Senate plnanca Committee

A Letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury to the Chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has written let
ter to the Chairman of the Senate Fin
| ance Committee on the apportionment
of the national currency. He says
"That Senate bill 256 is seemingly gen
eral in its provision, but in effect 1t
singles out Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rhode Island and reduces their
circulation to a certain arbitrary stand
ard. 1t practically asserts the circula-
ton of National Banks in Massachusetts
shall be diminished 60 per cent, the cir
culation of National Banks N Connec-
ticut shall be diminished 81 per cent.
and the circulation of National Banks
in Rhode Island shall be dimished "A
per cent. This principle on which the
reduction is based is not correct one.
One hundred and seventy-hye thous-
and of the rural population OF ONO or
Illinois do not need tenth part requir-
ed by the manufacturing and CONNER
cial communities of Rhode 1sland.-
This bill is an amendment to section
2,2l2, the present national currency act
and proposes to withdraw circulation
from the banks by reducing the rates
which it shall bear to capital. 1t Will
affect the banks in all the States more
or less by certain fixed rate. The re-
duction is to be effected gradually as
the circulation becomes worn and mu-
tilated and is returned for redemption.
The amount by which the circulation is
to be thus diminished approximates
twenty-five million dollars, and it is
proposed in anticipation of this reduc-
ton to authorize the issue of circula-
ton to banks in States that have secur-
ed the least proportionate amount of
circulation as it may be needed. The
Secretary thinks 1t is important that
solvent State Banks should have an
opportunity 30 become National Banks.
Otherwise by the operation of law of
the United States they will be compell-
ed to wind up after the first day of next
July, and that it is n matter of great
Importance that provision should be
made to meet the wants of those States
which have been in rebellion. Bank
ing facilities are necessary to develope
the industrial interest of the South and
to stimulate the production of those
staples which enter so largely into the
financial interests of the country"
