THE SCARCITY OF SMALL BILLS.
TREASURER ROBERTS TALKS
ON THE SUBJECT.
The Wave of Prosperity in the
Northwest Has Much to Do
With the Matter.

NEW YORK, April 26-United States
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts, whois on a
business trip to this city, in talking
last night of the scarcity of bills of
small denominations throughout the
country. said:
This lack of small bills is due in
some parts of the country to the fact
that the bankers don't take the trouble
to send in their bills of large denomina-
tons and get small ones in exchange.
This is the case nearly everywhere ex-
cept in the larger cities of the East and
in the Northwestern States
I'm the Northwest there has been
such a wave of prosperity during the
last two years that the bankers and
merchants have had no occasion to
send their money East, as they did in
previous years. They are rich enough
to keep their money at home.
There was a lack of small bills in
this city up to few months ago, but
now the bankers, merchants and BUSH
ness men of every kind have all the
small bills they want. They have got
them by sending on their larger bills.
The revenue stamps on checks have
probably had something to do with
bringing into more general use the
smaller bills.
THE reason we cannot issue the
smaller bills as fast as the bankers
want them is because we are restricted
by law. The law allows JUS to issue
only S346, 100000 in United States notes
and the silver certificates are restricted
by the number of standard dollars held
in the treasury. We are now printing
only small bills, and have a big supply
on hand, but cannot issue them be-
cause of the restrictions 1 have men
toned. So the only recourse for the
banks that want small bills is to send
in large bills in exchange for them In
the ten sub treasures throughout the
country there is now $242, 100000 in
gold, but only $1S,0OO,00O in paper We
are sending out paper money in bills of
small denominations now at the rate
of about $4,000. 900 week. But a good
part Of this is sent out in place of old
and mutilated bills. Although there is
a shortage of small bills in circulation,
the treasury was never richer in funds
than it is at the present time
