Treasury Expands Silver Certificates to Equal Old Tenders
The Treasury allows currency certificates to be issued for deposits of such notes in sub-treasuries. This move aims to place new notes on parity with old legal tenders, easing circulation and banking acceptance. Officials hope to please silver advocates and protect public credit, with more certificates to come as needed, subject to future change.

Goats hair deemed dutiable under wool class two
The Board of General Appraisers ruled that goats hair is dutiable as class two wool, removing the need for Treasury opinion. If the decision had favored the government, collectors could have continued assessing duties and sent the case to court. Since it sided with importers, they may appeal for a ruling that under the McKinley bill goats hair is duty free.
