move the crops and to meet the de-

amended, authorizes the secretary in
his discretion to permit national
banks to have outstanding a maxi
mum of circulating notes equivalent
to 1875 per cent OF their unimpaired

will enable banks which have now
outstanding circulation equal to their

national currency associations over
the country for additional currency
