MutiIated Currency.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Hitherto when
individuals OF banks have called for frac-
tional silver currency it has been issued
from the Treasury. Hereafter it will be
issued from the nearest sub-Treasury 1t
is hoped by this means to reduce the ex-

more convenient for the people to get silver

been the practice hitherto to redeem mu-
tilated currency at its face value if three
fifths of a note was presented in one piece.
BY rules promulgated Wednesday there
must be nine-tenths of note or gold or
silver certificate, or for four-fifths of frac-
tional currency note, in one piece to en-
title it to be redeemed at its face value
These can be redeemed at sub Treasures
United States notes, gold certificates and sill
yer certificates are redeemable by the treasur-
er only, when mutilated to the extent Of one
tenth, but not two-tentlls; at nine-tenths of
their face value, two-tenths. but not three
tenths; at eight-tenths of their face-value,
three-tenths, but not four-tentfs: at seven
tenths of their face value, four-tenths. but
not one-half. Fragments of notes, each
constituting clearly one-half, are redeem
able at one-half the full face value of such
whole notes.
