a paradox in finance Is the fact that
when banks are short OF small bills Of
the denomination of 81. 81 or S., the
country Is prospecting in the ratio of
the shortage. At present bankers are
bothered by "A scarcity of small bills.
especially "hvcs," and are making
calls on the Sub-Trelsury for bills OF
that denomination with such unanimity
that the demand can scarcely be met.
In the emergency, gold is being put
into local circulation at "A rate which
will make five and two-and one half dol
lar gold pieces as familiar with the
average mans pockets as nickels now
are on pay-days.
To the man who only looks upon cur
rency as something to throw at the
butcher, baker or pantata this peculiar
conduct on the part of money seems as
mysterious as the workings of the ia

when the hands pointed at 2, and then
the farmer knew 1t was $50 The far
mer understood his clock and could in
terpret It's vagaries properly.
Cashier and Assistant Treasurer at the
Sub-Treasury understands the action
of money and what its circulation in
bills Of larger or smaller denominations
II VIII admit" he said to-day, that
we have not been able to meet all the
demands made upon us for St bills, al
though we have paid out to the banks
over $500. 900 in such bills during the last
ten days. To-day we Will pay out about
$4,000 in those bills. and there seems
to be no end to the demand for them
This demand liz owing to the fact
that when business began to decline in
September, 1893, workmen were laid off
and employers did not need SO much
small currency. The banks did not care
to keep them In storage and sent them
back to the Treasury, getting in return
bills of denominations from 81 900 to
s., 600
"As the small bills returned to the
Treasury were usually old, torn and
dirty they were cancelled and orders
issued for the printing of others to re.
place them. During the twelve months
between September, 1893 and Aug. 81,
1894 there were $S,0OO,OOO worth of So
bills destroyed. These bills have to be
replaced now that the banks want them
in exchange for the big bills.
THE period to which | refer covered
the greatest stagnancy in business, and
II Is of interest to note that there were
in September, 1893 outstanding $3.50, 600
in 81 bills. whereas in August. 1894. the
amount had decreased to $2i5, 000,0 900
Now, that business Is revlving, fac
tories are opening, men are getting
work, and small bills are needed to
pay them. That accounts for the pres
ent scarcity of 'hves,' and II demon
strates that n new era Of prosperity has
begun for the United States"

To the Editor:
Seeing some very pertinent articles in your
valuable paper, l beg to add a medical student s
plea. We met Thursday and discussed the
question Of noses. Is there any reader of THE
Evening World who can throw some light to
whether the point OF the nose, which has in
creased to twice its normal size and also taken on
an inhammsory red color. can be reduced to
its proper size and shape and, II 80, without the
aid OF the knife? Any dscoyerer of such true
cure can make a fortune quickly, as our books
are rather tardy upon this delicate subject.
