CASH Is MORE FLUSH.
NEARLY ALI OF OUR PEOPLE PAY
THEIR HANDS IN CURRENCY.
Checks the Exception Rather Than tho
Ruie-RstaiI Men Come Modify 60 the
gescue-Rcsumo Operations.

Currency was decidedly more flush 1es-
terday than on the Saturday previous md
with very few exceptions the large manu-
factories met their pay-roll3 IN money.
Some OF them used part checks and part
cash. For this they have been providing
all the week, and persons having currency
who did not need 1t without hesitation
gave il in exchange for certified checks.
In addition. about S125,000 in currency
came into the city by express Friday and
Saturday.
RETAIL MIN TO THE RESCUE.
A prominent leat-tobacco dealer said
yesterday that be thought he had made
arrangements to pay off IN currency. but
being disappointed at the last moment he
went to the grocery store of 5. Ullman's
Son, on lower Main street, upon whom he
had no claim whatever. aud asked them 1t
they could help him out. T1e reply was
that they would do 80 to the extent of
their ability, and they not only cashed
his uncertihed check, but seemed to take
pleasure in so doing.
A book and job house was furnished
with cash TO meet its pay-rolls by the
Industrial Department of the Life-ln-
surance Companv of Virginia, and several
other establishments received cash from
the same source in exchange for checks.
Messrs A. Saks IL Go. distributed o
large amount of currency to the manufac-
turers. among those who paid off IN
currency were the Randolph Paper-BOx
Factory. W. j. Yarbrough' ) Sons. the West
ham Granite Company, Cameron's factory,
tie American Tobacco Company. the Gay
ton Coal Company, Charles Millhiser. the
Mllihiser Bag-Factorv, aud Others. Yes
terday was not payday at tho Richmond
Locomotive Works. as that plant only pays
Cd ml-monthy.
RAILROADS PAYING ~ CASH.
In the last two days the Richmond and
Danyille Railroad Company hos paid out
10 employees through the Richmond
banks about so, 900 IN currency.
IL was expected last week that the Chesa-
peake and Ono road would have to pay off
largely in certified checks. IL was learned
at the company's office yesterday, how
ever, that only officers and agents who
could turn in certified checks in their re-
mittances were thus paid. 1 he rest of the
FACTORIES RESUME WORK.
The only two factories which were
forced 10 shut down because of the diff
Guilty OF obtaining currency-W. I. Han
Geek and the Wright Tobacco Company
resumed operations yesterday morning,
and 1t was reported at Deputy-Collector
Smiths Office that the sale of stamps for
the week had been very good, all things
considered.
Most. # not all. OF the contractors aud
smaller industries secured currency for
their pay-rolls.
