Tho Profit in National Bank Circulation

Wcsson Niss.-1. How do the national banks
get money from'the government?
2. Are they paid interest on the money they de-
post with the treasurer of the United States?
If the government issues only 80 per cent of notes
for the amount they deposit, where does the profit
come in? ALLAN
1. BY depositing registered, interest bearing
bonds of the United States, they may issue
notes to the amount of 90 per cent Of their
market value, provided this amount does not
exceed the par value of the bonds BY the
last report of the comptroller the note crcula-
ton of national banks was S136, 10000, Sc
cured by $142. sos, 800 of bonds held by the
treasurer.
The money national banks deposit in the
treasury is put their to redeem notes which
they wish to retire
2. The banks draw interest on the bonds
they deposit with the treasurer. OF these
$111,9S5,95O, or about four-fifths, bear 4 per
cent interest AT the present market price OF
III for per cents they yield an interest of q
per cent on the amount invested In them. The
banks pay tax of 1sper cent per annum on the
circulation. This now amounts to little less
than per cent on the amount of bonds depoS-
tied, SO the banker realizes about II per cent
interest ON the per cent bonds. Out of this
he must pay the government for the engraving
and printing of the notes, and also charge for
the clerical expense of redemption when the
notes are retired. The expense Of printing is
largo or small, according as the issue of notes
is large or small, tho cost of plate for small
issue being as great as for largo one. In one
of the recent reports, not now at hand, but
quoted from memory. the treasurer calculated
the net profit on the circulation to be allowed
upon 100000 of bonds to be about 5000. This
calculation allowed for interest earnings on a
circulation of 90 per cent, which the banker
was supposed to lend out. The net profit,
then, was about 6-10 of per cent.

The Word "Ouire."

Atlanta-Kindy inform me in your next issue
as to the correctness of the word quirc,' in ref
erence to q body of singers, and If the same is
properly spoken in America: Has the word
''choir'' made the above word obsolete?
SUBSCRIBER.
Both forms have the sanction of lexilograph-
ers. "Qure' is the English form of the
word, which means a body of singers 1t was
derived from the early modern English words,
''quier, queer, quer.' In the Nth century it
was corrupted TO 'choir," in imitation of the
French 'choeur'' and the Latin "chorus."

The bean is unlike any that has been grown i'll
