SUPPLY OF CIRCULATION TO SOUTHERN BASKa
Representative Buekland to-day from the Com
mittee on Banks and Banking reported back the re-
solution of the House, inquiring whether any Ma
tioral Banks in the South had had preferences over
banks in other States in the preparation and delivery
OF circulation, with letter from Ii. B. Hubberd e.
putty Comptroller of the Treasury in which the fol-
lowing statement is made:
On the 18th of September last, there were six Ma
tiOnal Banks organized in the Southern States which
had received no circulation, viz Two banks in Ala
bama; two in North Carolina; one in Georgia and
one in Virginia. 1t was represented by the parties
interested IN these institutions particularly by Jno
dent OF the First National Bank of Charlotte, n. G.
that their section of the country was entirely des
tute OF currency; that large amounts of cotton, to-
bacco, and other were lying idle for the want
of money to move them, and that there was much
suffering in consequence.
Believing the country needed these products, and
knowing that precedence in the preparation of cir
culat.ng notes had been granted to the Wisconsin
National banks their State circulation was driven
out OF existence by the acto of the Milwaukee and
Chicago banks instructed the engravers reduce
the time required to prepare the notes for banks in
the Southern States from four months. the ordinary
time, to three months, that giving the Southern
banks thirty days preference. When this order was
given the Continental Bank Note Company were de
yerng notes of the denomination of S. at the rate
OF i've banks per day, and the American Bank Note
Company delivering notes of the denomination
of S10 and S20 the rate of three banks per day
from which 1t will appear (and the American Note
Company have SO informed me) that the precedence
thus given would not and did not deter the prepara
ton of notes for any other bank in its regular order
more han two days 1t is proper to state that this

Comptroller, and that subsequently when the order
was brought to his notice. it countermanded."
