bank statements reflects the paralysis in general
business. The, deposits are reported as increased
$35OOOOO and legal tender TO equal sum. The
increase in speculative movements is attributable
in great degree TO an idea that the exchange Of
compound notes for three per cent certificates is
expansion, such as during the Rebellion advanced
quotations SO rapidly. Tile proposed exchange can
have no great effect in expanding prices, but the
reason may lie SEEN No private holder will take
these three per cents in exchange for compound
notes while 5os sell at lOi and gold sells above 125.
The banks will take them to save interest upon the
reserve, and be content 10 mako three per cent
instead Of six per cent at present. and that is the
extent of the operation of the substitution. There
