ONE AND TWO DOLLAR NOTES
It is stated at the Treasury Depart.
ment that the number OF legal.tender
notes, ones and twos only, now outstand.
ing is S5S,00O,C00, equally divided be.
tween the two denominations. This
amount is one.seventh Of the entire
greenback circulation. There has been
a very great complaint as to the scarcity
Of this class Of notes, and the theory at
the Department is that great numbers 81
them are being boarded by the people.
Some have supposed, from the fact that
the Department has suspended the issue
oinOtes Of this denomination to private
individuals, thatin the process of'the re.
sumption Of specie payment they will
acquire increased value over notes Of
other denominations. This idea is alto
gether erroneous. The Department is
still furnishing ones and twos to the
Assistant Treasurers and the United
States repositories for the business Of
their Offices. The total amount OF silver
issued since April 20, 1876, is So, ,7SS, 400,
The fractional currency outstanding, al
this date, is $2OO,075,S07. One million
OF fractional currency will be retired
during the present month.
