City Currency.

Mr.. EDITOR: The City Council arc
issuing more city bills, by what authority,
or to what extent, is not known, as the
mercantile interest is unreprcsented in
that body. The last council, composed
of business men, found it impracticable
to carry large amount of city bills, as
they are not taken on deposit by the
banks. and merchant may have a
81, 900 in city bills, and yet not be able
to pay q fifty dollar draft; therefore a
large portion was redeemed before the
old Council went out, which has greatly
relieved business operations. But if
we are to be again flooded with city bills,
the merchants intend to protect them
selves. MERCHANT.
