L. s. GRANT.
RedemptiOn Of National Rank Notes
stopped.
WASHINGTON, September l9.-Ihe
National Bank redemption agency gives
notice that in consequence OF the cx-
haustion of the five per cent. funds and
the failure of National Banks to make
prompt and general response to the re-
quest for an additional deposit of five per
cent. of their circulation, it has become
necessary to stop redemption of National
Bank Notes for q short time. Remit
tance of National Banks which are now
in transit will be counted and paid for,
but those RENTED after this date, vii! be
held until notice is given of the resump-
ton of redemptions. Meanwhile the
whole force ofagency will be employed on
the assortment of notes already redeemed,
in order to enable it to make calls upon
banks to reimburse the Treasury ortheir
redemption. 1t is hoped that redemp-
tions will be resumed within two or three
weeks. The cessation of redemptlons
need not prevent compliance with the
call for the additional five per cent de-
post. The larger the amount of legal
tenders deposited under the call, the
sooner will they be enabled to resume
redemptions. There seems to be some
the additional call. Deposits made under
the call will be treated simply rs All ad-
vance from the banks to reimburse the
Treasury for their notes redeemed, but
not vet assorted As fast Us the notes shall
be assorted, their amount will he charged
against the additional deposits and No
request for reimbursement will be made
upon the banks making deposit until II
shall be exhausted.
