MONETARY MATTERS.
Another Question of Deposit Raised by
the Banks.

National banks have heretofore been
required to deposit United States notes, under the
regulations of the Treasury, for the retirement of
their circulation and for the FIVE per cent fund re-
qured to be deposited by them in the Treasury for
the redemption of their circulating notes under
the act ofis7l Several banks recently raised the
question as to whether they were not entitled to
reduce their circulation and withdraw their bonds
on deposit Nt the Treasury for security
thereof by the deposit Of coin in
stead Of United States notes. Tho Secretary
of the Treasury at the request of the Comptro Ter
of the Currency submitted the question TO the Al.
torney General, who rendered decision
on the 2lst ultlmo, in which he
maintained that lawful money" might be
deposited for the purpose of reducing circulation,
As the decision Of the question, however, indi.
reCtly affected the redemption OF tho notes Of all
national banks which have heretofore been re-
deemed In United States notes, the Secretary, at
the request Of the Treasurer also submitted to
the Attorney General the question as to whether
national banks should be permitted 10 deposit
and lawful money other than greenbacks TO the
credit Of tho five per cent. fund, which Is required
to be kept at all times in the Treasury for the
demption Of the circulating notes of the banks,
and also the question whether or not holders Of
national bank notes have right to demand the
redemption thereof in legal tender notes,
by the Treasurer in gold or silver coin.
The decision covering the two latter points has
been prepared and Is awaiting the approval of the
Attorney General The decision holds that gold
and silver may be deposited for the redemption Of
circulating notes, and that II may also be paid out
by tho United States Treasurer In the redemption
of national bank notes,
