EVERYBODY SUPPOSED
TO POSSESS S52.71,
SAYS US. TREASURER
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga year
ago the per capital circulation in the
United States was 59.77. Today it is
$52.71.
Col Frank White, treasurer of the
United States. states that the per
capita circulation of year ago was
abnormal, that ii was, in fact, the high
water mark of history He says he
is looking forward TO general good
times and prosperity in the not dis
tant future.
In January. 1879, he says, the per
capita circulation in this country was
only 1882.
THE cash reserves in the banks are
very large now" Col. White says.
There is more cash in the banks nov
than a year ago. Not so much money
moving around in the pockets of the
people.
THE money sent into the treasury
for redemption dirty and mutilated
money-the last five or six months has
been the largest in amount in the his
tory of the country
Using Up Surplus
During the period of general en-
ployment and high wages a great deal
of money was kept in the peoples
pockets and about their homes. This
was especially true of those who usu-
ally do not carry bank accounts. These
reserves are now being used on ac-
count of unemployment and we OBJ
serve it in the redemption department
of the treasury. If the redemption of
currency keeps up as large during the
remainder of the fiscal year there will
be close to 100 per cent redemption

sent in and new issued to replace
them
However, not all the old currency

| This is on account of the low demand
| and the large amount of cash reserves
