OF the Toronto banks. the merchants ana local
banks here have decided to refuse 70 accept Amer-
can silver and silver certificates.
For years American bills and American currency
have been accepted at par by many merchants.
United States silver or silver certificates Will not
be accepted in payment Of city taxes This action
Is not due entirely the silver agitation In the
United States but the fact that at present there
Is too much American silver In circulation In Can
ada.
Toronto Ont Aug 10--A combined effort Is
about be made by city banks TO decrease the cir
cuaton Of American bills IN this city. At present
the city is flooded with American silver certificates
The following notice is posted in the Standard Bank
to-day:
on and after Sunday, August Il, American 81
bills will only be received for 90 cents.
1t is understood that other banks will follow the
example of the Standard Bank This action will
nrobably result in a much decreased circulation Of
A nerican bills in this city. IN regard to American
silver most Of the city banks are not accepting II
