Financial Matters.
The redemption of National Bank notes at tire
redemption agency of the IRE Asury department is
now more active than at any former time since its
reorganization. Many banks which never before
forwarded notes arc now doing so, including
number of Boston banks. The notes redeemed
by the new issues, up 10 the 3lst of December,
amounted to S53 22l ,l56. The amount assorted
and delivered to the comptroller of the currency
for destruction and the replacement of new notes
to the same date SAL 1926, $50. The difference
between these two sums constitutes the amount in
the hands of the redemption agency in various
stages of as ortment.
