Bank Note Redemption Bureau in such
condition a. will enable il to meet all re-
Quirements without the possibility OF
future suspension. 1t is considered in
official quarters that the dcposite Of
FIVE per cent. Of the reserves affords
but slight foundation for operations.
Some banks failed in deposit, even in
that amount. when the bureau was es-
tablished, and it was difficult to induce
them to comply with law. The amount
of worn and mutilated notes for redemp-
tion daily received, are now COMPARE
lively small, but it is feared that if the
bureau should resume without dpe prep
arations, notes would be received in such
accumulated quantities, rs I" materially
embarrass business. IL l. uncertain
when redemption will be resumed.
