STILL Goon.—Sovereign Bank
notes or hills are good for one hun-
dred cents on the dollar. The fact
that the Sovereign has handed over
its business to the other banks does
not discount the value of the bills of
the Sovereign variety, People need
have no hesitation in accepting the
bilis as legal tender. Any hank
will tike them on deposit or change
them for others. Once they reach
the banks however, they will no
longer see the light of circulation.
As they are gathered in the Sove-
reign Bank bills will be forwarded
to Ottawa, and credited to the bank's
account with the Dominion govern-
ment.
