The national treasury supply of small

coming from all parts OF the country.
The shipments on this account for the
past ten days have averaged half a mil

tinued at that rate until the demand has
been met or the supply exhausted. In
order to prevent, if possible, this latter
contingency, the force at the bureau of
engraving and printing will work extra
hours as long as the necessity exists.
The notes being shipped are in denomi-
nations of one, two, five and ten dollars,
and are issued in exchange for notes OF
larger denominations, as well as in pay
ment of the current obligations of the
government.
