Show The Chicago national banks have retired nearly $1,000,000 of their cir- j culation within the past three months. The Inter-Ocean says that the profit on bank circulation is small at best, ' and tho new system of redemption of the United Suites Treasury has contributed con-tributed to make it unpopular, especially espe-cially among city banks. The aggregate aggre-gate of cash and exchange now held by the Chicago banks is six millions in excess of the amount held by them in October, 1S72. A large current increase is reported in banking trans-1 actions. |
