WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The statement that
the Comptroller of Currency has given an opin-
ion in reference to the issue by the national
banks of certificates of deposit to circulate as
been presented to him for decision, though it
has been rumored that some of the national
banks had proposed to issue such certificates.
If the question should be presented there is no
doubt as to his decision. The law expressly
provides for the use of notes secured by United
States bonds at rate not exceeding 80 per
cent. of the amount of said bonds at the par
value thereof; and section % of the act pro-
vides that no national banking association
shall issue post notes or any other notes to cir
culate as money than such as is authorized to be
issued upon the security of United States bonds
as above stated.
