has been rldeeniog its e;oalaloa at twenty-five

gers of the Exchange Bank give the people
some idea OF tie value Of its notes, 50 as % pro

nag at twenty-five or thirty per e., but ere now
worth little more, as re suppose The BrokeTs
have gotten, q hint as to the amount Whlca tie
Bank will probably be able to pay. Our oNn
impression is shat al Of the notes, both OF this
State and North Carolina Banks Will be re-
deemed at considerable advance On tae pre-
sent market rates, and We would advise those
who hold them not to part with them II they
car possibly hello it. Eye1y" Bank which has
