THE TRADE DOLLARS.
THE BANKS IN THIS CITY REFUSE TO RE-
CEIvE OR PAY THEM OUT.

THE BANKS IN THIS CITY REFUSE TO kE-
CEIvE OR PAY THEM OUT.
Since the passage by Congress of the
bill known a. the "Silver bill" making
the silver dollar of 4l2t grains legal
dollar, the trade dollar ceased to BIZ q
legal tender.
The trade dollars continued to circn-
lated as dollar for some time, but finally
banks in various parts of the country re-
fused to take them for more thru so cents.
Notwithstanding that fact, the banks in
this city continued up to yesterday to
receive and pay them out at full value,
but at meeting of the directors OF the
National Bank of Wilmington and
Brandywine, yesterday morning, the
bank officers were instructed not to re-
ceive the trade dollars at any price, or
pay them out. This morning the office
uf the Farmers, First National, Union
National and Delaware. were instructed
to the same effect.
In conversation with bank official
this morning, he stated to a representa-
tive of the GAZETTE that the banks were
obliged to refuse the trade dollars, on
account of business firm on the Brandy.
WINE purchasing them in Philadelphia,
at a discount, and then paying them Out
for one dollar to farmers for their wheat
corn and oats. He also stated that a
number of employers did the same thing
and paid OFF their employees with them
thus saving the discount. A letter from
