and screams continued even after the
early terror had somewhat subsided, and
long after there was noise OF walls falling

for mercy. Many shocks followed
during the night, every one ol

CALL FOR LKdAL TRNDRRs.

The redemption agency has made calls
upon the National Banks since the suspen.
sion Of the redemptions for about $7,000,.
600 in legal tender notes 10 reimburse the
Treasury for their circulating notes re-
deemed and assorted. Calls OF the same
nature for about $5,000,00O more will
probably be made during the present
week. When the banks have responded
to the calls the agency will be in a condi.
tion to resume redemptions. The force
oil the agency Is now sufficient to count
and assort bank notes as fast as they are
received, so that there is not any like!i-
hood of another suspension OF redemp-
tions Hereafter the call will be made
upon banks for the reimbursement asfast
as their notes are assorted, 80 that the
calls for any period about equal redemp-
tions and the five per cent deposit leaves
so small margin Tor the agency to work
upon that the calls must be made with
great frequency in order to prevent the
exhaustion Of the fund.
