SMALL BILLS ARE SCARCE
Extraordinary State of Affairs Con-
sidering the Vast Total If
Cash Reserves.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE national and
state banks and trust companies through
out the country have cash reserves that
have been equaled seldom in the financial
history of the country. but there has de-
yeloped this week a scarcity of small
bills which is beginning to embarrass
many bankers and their customers. This
lack of 81 and 81 bills is the more ex-
traordinary because it occurs at season
when small money is ordinarily plentiful
and because in the panic last fall the
treasury turned out small bills as rapidly
as the printing presses could work them
off and thus increased the amount to a
point never before reached.
Owing to the demand for small bills the
New York sub-treasury found itself yes
terday without any bills of the smaller
denominations, except those which are
turned in daily by the banks. Many
banks desiring small bills were obliged to
look elsewhere.
