NATIONAL BANK Notes.-The late
Secretary of the Treasury; Hugh Nc
Culloch, on Feb. 9th, issued a circular
giving instructions in reference to the
receipt by U. S. Assistant Treasurers OF
torn, mutiIated, defaced or dirty Ma
tional Bank notes. This circular re-
mains in force unless modified by the
new Secretary. Mr.. McCulloch says
that the condition of these notes is
gradually growing worse, and will con-
tinue TO do SO until the banks are COM
PEELED to make the arrangements con
templated by the law for keeping their
circulation in good order; AS the
Treasury Department is not by law the
redemption agent OF the National
Banks, it must either incur the expense
of issuing new notes or be the agent in
keeping defaced currency in existence
by paying it out again. The Secretary,
therefore, instructs the collecting otti.
GERS of the United States to refuse tC

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

THE NEW BANK STATEMENT LAW
The act authorizing the Comptroller of
the Currency TO require from the banks
not less than five statements per annum
it is now known received the signature
of President Johnson, but there is some
doubt whether this will supersede the
necessity of a statement on the first OF
April next. Those supposed to be the
best informed on the subject favor the
conclusion that it will. Positive infor-
nation should be made public as soon
as possible. This bill is an important
one, as henceforth quarter-day will be
no longer source OF grave periodical
disturbance and embarrassment of the
business interests of the country. 1t
will preclude all manipulations of the
money market in the interest of the
banks desirOus of making strong e1-
hibit. 1t will also prevent all 'cook-
poses, and will protect the hnan-
cial and commercial public from
the hardships Of sudden contrac-
ton, such as is now felt and
as has been the usual preliminary to
former quarter-day returns, made up to
days in the future which were known
and prepared for months in advance.
AS both the public and bank managers
have been dissatisfied with the work
inHs of the old law we presume all will
be glad to learn that it has been abro-
gated by the passage of a new law on
the subject which seems likely to ac-
complish fully the end desired, while
doing away with the Objectionable fea-
lures of the old law. The new act re-
qulres not less than five detailed re-
ports of the condition of the various
banks at the close of business on any
past day to be specified by the Comp
troller of the Currrncy. Whether, how
ever, the new order of things will be
any more acceptable to the banks than
the old will perhaps depend more on
doing their business than upon the
simple merit of the law itself.
