a low figure that the national banks see
their way clear TO make a profit by issu-
Ing circulation against them. Arrange
ments have therefore been made by some
OF the more prominent banks to increase
their circulation from the minimum limit
at which II now stands 10 such an
amount as will materially relieve the pres

they have been accommodating cash lately
they are probably still below the 10 per
cent limit allowed them. IT is thought
that they would rather dispose Of a large
block Of securities now and have the
cash I'm hand than wait until the cash is
actually needed-in case Il ever is-and
then have to sacrifice their holdings for
what they would bring
