THE CANADIAN BANKING SYS
TEM.
Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 14.—Radical
changes,in the federal banking system
will be adoped in 1890. The principal
change will be the adoption of an en.
actment authorizing the government
to practically control the issue of legal
tender and correspondingly restrict
the issue of notes by the various char-
tered banks. The change, if carried
out, will be borrowed from the Ameri-
can banking system, which requires
all chartered banks to limit their cir
culation to the amount of United
States government bonds which they
own.
