Final Cost CT Canal.

In view Of the questions which will
be asked by the democrats in the next
session of congress, government OIL
cials have been figuring over the nl-
innate cost of the Panama canal. The
figures show that the ultimate cost o.
the canal will be in the ne:ghborhood
Of sag, 900. 900. This is far in excess
Of the original estimates and the orig
inal sum named by congress az the
limit within which the expenditures
were to be kept. 1t is thought, how
ever, with the splendid progress made,
there will be little difficulty in having
the limit raised BY congress.

Treasury officials are aereeably
surprised At the number of banks
throughout the country which have
slready indicated their purpose to
comply with the suggestion of the
Comptroller Of the Currency Ridge
av that additional circulation be TAX
en- out. A large number of selegrams
were received at the department ask
ing for additional circulation, vary
ing in amount from a few thousand
dollars to two milliocs. George f..
Roberts, former director of the mint
and now president of the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, is here.
and has engaged s2,0O0,000 additional
circulation for his bank.
Sol Wcxlcr. vice president of the
Whitney Central National Bank Of
New Orleans, is also here and is
makig arrangements to materially in
crease his holdings. Other prominent
bankers, through Washington repre-
sentatives are arranging to deposit
the necessary securities preparatory
TO taking out national bank notes
TO the limit Of their capital stock.
The Comptroller now has in his vaults
national bank currency to the amount
of $l67, 900, 900, and while consider
able proportion Of this amount be-
'ra0ngs to banks that have already
reached heir limit under the law, =
very large sum is available for banks
that carry only a comparatively
small amount when compared with

been Increased by from $25, ,00O, ,0O(
