WASHINGTON, Oct 10-The Treasury De-
partment finds itself considerably ham,
pered in it's efforts to meet the present heavy
demand for notes of small .denomins tions
by reason of the refusal of the United
States Express Company to transport the
money at less than regular rates. The
company contend that their contract with
the department for the transportation OF
government moneys and securities does not
apply to shipments like these
to banks and bankers. Department
instructions to the assistant treas
urer at New York of Aug. z. last.
have been modified accordingly. Future
shipments will be made upon receipt of
notice of deposits of legal-tender notes and
silver certificates with the assistant
treasurer at New York, with the under
standing that the express charges will here
after be collected by the express company.
The notice to bankers that such remittances
will be forwarded at government contract
rates has been recalled. The demand for
small notes is greater than ever before. and
indicates unusual business activity. 1t has
been met principally by the exchange OF
