TO DO hoped that the Stock Exchange will direct tn,
bonds to be called after the 18th, ex-coupon and il
that way aid the Secretary in reducing his golt
balance and forcing it into the usual channels o.

country warrants. The prepayment Of interest is G
proper way of remedying the evil caused by the law
requiring gold for customs duties, andmore efficient
than sales of gold by the Treasury.
