Toronto, Ont, Aug. ia combined
effort is about TO be made by city banks
10 decrease circulation OF American
bills in this city. At present the city
is flooded with American silver certifi-
Gates. The following notice was posted
in the Standard bank Monday;
ION and after Saturday, August Is,
American one dollar bills will only be
received for 90 cents"
Ii is understood that other banks will
follow the example of the Standard
bank This action will probably result
in much decreased circulation of
American bills in this city. In regard
to the American silver. most of the city
banks are not accepting il NJ all. Some
will accept American silver only from
customers. but only in small amounts.
The railway companies refuse TO hardle
it and departmental stores are discuss

American bills and currency have been

United States silver or silvercertificates
will not be accepted in payment of city

to the silver agitation in the United
States. but to the fact that at present
there is too much American silver in
circulation in Canada
