supply the demand for t. s. Skies of
1881, which are much sought after by
the country National Banks as perma-
nent investment with which to replace
shorter bonds held by Government to
their credit. Upon the ground that the
Secretary of the Treasury has the option
to pay off the 20s (possibly in currency

stocks will be considerably higher, wise
