Opinion of the Comptroller OF the
Currency.

The Comptroller says: If Congress
should provide for III" withdrawal Of
legal tender notes and the issue Of
National bank notes as needed III pIac"
thereof. when the amount Of the legal
tender notes should be- reduced to say
$500. 600 900. the legal tender notes
would then be in demand and in proper
tion ~ they should bc reduced IN
amount the demand for them would
increase until finally when the amount
of bank notes issued should be largely in
excess of the amount of legal tender
notes outstanding. the National bank
notes would themselves b. withdrawn at
certain seasons of the year on account Of
the difficulty or expense of obtaining
lawful money with which to redeem
them. The gold coin of the country
would then make its appearance in an
swer to the demand for an additional
amount of lawful money, and specie pay
ment would follow. Redemption in Its
proper sense implies the exchange Of a
promise TO pay for the thing promised.
namely. coin. or it, representative which
is convertible into coin, Is demanded.
The effect Of such redemption is TO con-
fine the banks Of issue to Legitimate
business. which is the discounting Of
commercial paper. II the banks of issue
are obliged to pay their circulating notes
once in sixty or ninety DAYS. they must
discoun, such pro,nissary notes only rs will

payment of bank notes BE- frequently de-
handed, banks of issue cannot safely in
vcs; their capital in real estate loans, in
doubtful stocks, or bonds in Sccommoda-
ton notes. which require renewal, or in
loans on doubtful security, but must have
their capital at all times invested in loans
which will be promptly paid at maturity.
Such condition indicates u healthfui
business and promotes sound banking.

New York was easy, with middling l7g;
futures were steady. New Orleans was

ket here was firm, with light offerings
and fair demand for medium cottons,
but buyers are unwilling to concede to
holders prices. There is wide differ

transactions this morning were light.
Holders are asking from B@4c above
