Reports are current that the Secretary
of the Treasury is gradually retiring the
one and two dollar notes from circulation
and replacing them by fives. Treasury
officials say no restrictions have been
placed upon the issue Of ones and twos'
and it has been suggested to the Secretary
of the Treasury that one OF the easiest
ways in which he can place the new silver
dollar in circulation is to discontinue the
issue OF Treasury notes of the lower de-
nominations and supply silver dollars IN
their stead. The Treasurer's books show
whether the issue is being discontinued or
not. The amount of these small notes
outstanding is about 20 per cent. less than
it was one wear ago. The exact amount
is SAC, $50, 725 at present. as against 500
600. 900 last year.
