Government Securities.

NEW YORK, Aug. q.
The demand for government bonds Is large
~ IN excess of the supply, The quotations
are kept down by the heavy operators who
want 10 purchase at about current quotations,
they are buyers and not sellers, even above
the market quotations OF the day In REGARD
10 All government securities, the Investment
pubic and money lenders are buyers and not
sellers, because IL Is impossible to lend money
ON satisfactory collaterals at better rates than
70 per cent, while government securities
at present prices pay nearly per cent. Even
II nYe-tWenty bonds advanced TO 40 they
would pay per cent. interest in greenbacks;
ana Uen-IoFty bonds, with gold at $50, and
seYen-Lhtrty notes, besides profit ON interest
account and the prospective benefit OF cone
version into hve-tWenty bonds II they adj
Yanced to Ills, would pay per cent. Interest
IN greenbacks. AS the loan market Is over
loaded with loanable funds which cannot be
USED better than to 5 per cent. on prime col.
laterals like government, IL requires no argu-
menJ TO prove that government bonds at us

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Much mis-.

authorities Of several States. Positively
no articles Will be entered or received
at the exhibition except those for which
application shall have been duly filed
with and accepted by the General Agent
at New. York, j. @. Derby, Times build
ing, No. 40 Park Row. All applications,
therefore, should be promptly forward
ed to him as he is required to have the
descriptive catalogue ready by the 18th
oIynext mouth. Although the present
list of applications promise an excel
lent exhibition, in several groups it is
deficient in few important particu-
lars, rich furnishings, upholstery,
chHystals, rich potteries, carpets, wall
papers, cutlery, bronzes, cotton and its
products, wool and Its products, shawls

fishing, and for collecting natural pro
ducts, cereals, wines and fermented
Judging by the great num-
Der of claims that are daily received
at the Office of the Paymaster
General, those who believed them
selves to be entitled to bounty allow
ance under the act of July o, 1886, en-
be gained by securing the entrance of
their claims to file in the Office at the
earliest possible day. This is an error.
The wise and the prudent among the
claimants will defer RENTING their
claims. and papers to the authorities
here untn they learn the nature and re-
quirements of regulations which are to
govern the payment of claims. These
regulations may materially affect the
character and forms of application, in
which case the last claims received will
most probably be the first settled, while
those already on file may need to bere-
turned for necessary changes. Nothing
Is gained to the claimant, but on the
contrary much time may be lost, and
the examinations, DC, upon claims
may be greatly Kindred by over haste in
submitting them for file.
Congress has provided free transport
tation to Paris for goods and show cases
in which to exhibit goods at the exposi-
ton, as well as competent officers and
guards to take care of them.
