The Issue from the Legal Tender Re-
serves-No Permanent Expansion I'M
tended.
The Secretary OF the Treasury states that the use
by the Department OF the legal tender reserves
will not exceed S. ooo o00 and it is hardly expected
to be much over s2ooo,ooo. The amount drawn
from the reserve fund is for the convenience Of the
Department alone and has no relation whatever to
the money market, and is not concentrated at any
one place. but Is distributed in paying warrants to
parties ali over the country There is no intention
at the Department. to permanently expand the cur
rency and in the views upon this subject Assistant
Secretary Richardson fully accords with Mr.. Bout
well.
