It was also decided that all currency
deposited from to-day should be paid to
depositors in currency or checks at the
discretion Of the depositor.
This action was necessary. and has
only been taken to protect the financial
interests of Richmond. The banks of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Balti-

even Lynchburg. Va, have all adopted
the same measures for protection against
