IN DISCOUNT
Canadian Currency Will now
be Discounted at 2 In
stead of / Per Cent.


The discount on Canadian currency
tny various banks in this district will
be 2 per cent. instead of / per cent as
heretofore.
This action has been taken in keep
ing with the movement of eastern
banks, which are discounting Cana
dian currency at even more than
per cent.
1t was announced today by local
banks that owing to the discount on
Canadian currency and exchange
which has been prevailing for some
months it has been found necessary
to establishNa charge, of 2 per cen on
all Canadian currency which they re-
ceive. :
This is effective Immediately.
During the past three years there
has been a discount of / per cent on
Canadian currency but owing to the
fact that American banks can obtain
their own currency from Canada in
exchange for the Canadian notes. on
ly at a premium, 1t has been found
necessary to charge q higher discount
rate. This will also serve to offset the
expense of express charges on con.
signments to the dominion, and also
the expense Of obtaining the neces-
sary license for the shipment Of bank
notes across the, border, it was an
nounced.
