TIE banking interests OF Chicago are
not in q very thrifty condition. Of the
twenty-five National banks in tha. city,
it now appears that only seven are
maintaining their circulation by having
their worn out notes replaced through
the Redemption Division OF the Treasury
Department. The notes of the other Ill
teen Chicago banks are being destroyed
on account OF reducing circulation,
voluntary liquidation and failure. Seven
banks are reducing circulation, four are
passing through liquidation and four
have failed. National banks elsewhere
throughout the country are also reducing
their circulation in anticipation OF forced
resumption, which will have very dam
aging effect upon the business of the
country, unless the resumptionsact is
promptly repealed, which it is hoped
Congress will do at its next session.
