denominations continues active. The
calls come mostly from Western business

we'll as public musuems. Bills from hve
dollars up to one hundred are tolerablo
abundant, but five hundred and one thous=
and dollar notes arc scarce and command,

and dollars in Confederate notes have
been coming in very frequently of late
and nearly one million dollars have been
collected and sent on during the past
