Banks Withdraw Bonds to Protect Circulation
National banks are pulling bonds off government holdings to back their currency. They can redeem with greenbacks as the government uses greenbacks for redemptions. After the 3 percent refunding bill, banks may only redeem by their own notes or 3 percent bonds, prompting them to issue greenbacks for redemptions and sell their 4s at high premiums while their notes circulate. Months pass before all are redeemed, and banks will buy 3 percent bonds to back larger circulation as needed.
