reduction Of national bank circulation this

an estimate that tbs greater part OF the three
per cents ed by the banks are among the
first bonds issued, sDd that the payment Of
bonds during the next year will not, there

opinion that the gain on circulation in
certain localities is sufficiently profitable to
