few SMALL BILLS.
Increasing Prosperity of the Coun-

More Workmen TO Be Paid Off by
Employers.
Old Notes Destroyed During the Late
Strlngcncy.

A paradox in finance is the fact tina.
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-Treasury 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.
10 the man who only looks upon cur
rency as something to throw at the
butcher. baker or rantata this peculiar
conduct on the part of money seems as
mysterious as the workings Of the ia
nous clock which struck eleven times
when the hands pointed at ., and then
the farmer knew 1t was $50 Tho far
mer understood his clock and could in
tcrpret it's vagaries properly.
In Ike manner Mr.. NJ. l.. Mhhleman,
Cashier and Assistant Treasurer at the
Sub-Treasury, understands the acton
of money and what its circulation In
bills of larger or smaller denominations
actually means
Il viii admit" he said to-day, that
we have not been able t. meet all the
demands made upon us for s. bills, al
though we have paid out to the banks
over $500 900 in su n bills during the last
ten days. To-day we Will pay out about
5000. COZ in those bills. and there seems
to be no end to the demand for them.
that when business began to decline in
September. 1892 workmen were laid off
and employers did not need so much

to keep them in storage and sent them

between September, 1893 and Aug. 81,
1894 there were 5000, 900 worth or 80
