The Secretary of the Treasury has author
lied the acceptance of 1905 from holders in
exchange for $40 bonds of 1865, upon equal
terms as respects principal, the interest be-
ing adjusted according to the amount due on
each security. The Assistant Treasurer in
New York has been making the exchange
for some days past, but in consequence of the
present high price of 1905 not many de-
mands are received. There is so little adj
vantage in favor of 5-20's at present, that
holders Of small amounts of 1905 do not
find it to their interest to avail themselves
Of the opportunity offered TO exchange
them.
