This has been twice extended by the Postmas-
ter General, who still has faith that the Plymp-
ton Company will be able to soon begin the man
ufacture, and supply them in sufficient quantities
to meet the demands Of the office, and the state
ments that the contract with them will be can
celed and given to Reay, Of New York, the next
lowest bidder, are erroneous, although Reay is
ready to begin work Immediately, and thereby
save the public from Inconvenience.
In this connection it may be stated that the
New York office uses one twelfth Of the entire
number manufactured, and it is fair to presume
that when their present supply is exhausted the
people will have to wait for some time before they
can be accommodated with stamped envelopes or
wrappers.

BANKING AND CURRENCY.
The Comptroller of the Currency has authorized
the organization Of the First National Gold
Bank of Petaluma, California, with capital of
500 900, and also the Amber National Bank of
Florida, with capital of $4,000.
The redemption agency has now on hand an ac-
cumulatlon Of nearly two millions of unredeemed
national baRE notes, but 1t is confidently ex-
pected that redemption will commence again in
the course of a week when the i've per cent. fund
will have been largely recuperated from the re-
cent calls. Heneeforward, 1t is expected that
the force Of the agency Will be equal to the hand
ling of all the currency which viii come forward
for redemption as it arrives. 1t has been well
organized by Superintendent Graves and
