WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Mr. Coffin
the acting comptroller of the currency,
yesterday called attention to the fact
that the retirement of national bank
notes during the first 20 days of this
month reached the sum of $1,000 OOO.
This is said to be the first time during
the last ten years that the voluntary
retirement has reached this amount in
any one month. Under the national
bank act, the United States treasurer
is not allowed to receive for the retire.
ment Of circulation more than SS,OOO,-
600 in any one month and hence all
deposits to retire notes during the last
ten days of this month must be refused.
This exceptional condition, Mr.. Coffin
says, is due to the prevailing low rates
of interest arising from superabun.

has advanced the price OF United
States bonds. Mr. Coffin expressed the
opinion that the law should be amend
