WASHINGTON, April 30.-The officers
OF the treasury department are anxious
10 do anything possible to relieve the
stringency in fractional money in New
! York and other places from which q
! stEingency has been reported. The
! trouble is that they are completely tied
! by the law, which requires that no Bil-
| yer shall bs paid out except IN exchange
| for fractional carIency. The difficulty
! has heen that scrip has not come in SO
| rapidly as usual for redemption, and the
| silver has, therefore, been paid cut
| much slower than was expected. The
| entire disbursements to the end Of iSst
week had been within few Thousands
Of million and hslf of dollars. AT

awaiting redemption ~ the time the sill

6teIy issued fO~ all the fractional curre1s
cy received. There mas been al increase
ia the last few dsyg OF the receipts OF
currency for redemption, to about two
hundred packages daily, containing an
average RmCuat Of $1,000 each. Treas.
urgs New is OF the opinion that the cur

days will solve al the difficulties. There

that in some large cities, chiefly in New
