Total circulation Nov. /. 156S...... l7, S24, 600
We have thus about 81, OOO. 900 less circulation
now than year ago. Most Of this contraction
has occurred within the past month, by the re-
demptien of certificates and compounds, and it
is to be expected that q. further slight eontrac-
ton will result from the retiring of over due
compounds yet held by banks, especially those
Of the interior; while. if the banks should be
compelled to exchange more of their certificates
for legal tenders, the same result will follow.
To sum up, then, we have the same prospects
Of demand before US as year ago. with this diff
ference only, that the general trade ofthe coun-
try being now moro active than then, moro cur
reney IS likely to be required for retail circula-
ten while Wo have less resources 10 meet the
demand; the Treasury being unable to let out
currency, the banks being $5,SnOO00 poorer in
legal tenders, the general circulation is s23 eco
w less, and the loans of the New York banks
$4,000. 900 higher. Under these circunstarces,
there is little encouragement for sanguine ex-
peetations of ease during the next few weeks.
