Under these circumstances, tradesmen ot course, are continually swindled, and los-es by this means are a serous draw-back upon their profits. In Englind, no country banker is allowed to issue a note of a smaller denomination than consequently the risk of counterfeits is much less while their caution and their protective measure are much more efficient All the banks contrib ute to a detectice fund, and no sooner is new of a counterfeit issue received in London thai a secret igent is sent to the spot, who seldom fails to ferret out the criminals.
