RED TAPE AND TIE DEBT STATEMENT.
The public debt statement to be issued
on the first Of August, will not report the
full amount Of new fves issued and five.
tWenties redeemed, for the reason that all
bonds redeemed have to pass through the
books OF the Register, Auditor and Comp.
trollcr before being credited to the Treas
urer Of the United States, from whose
books tho debt statement is made out.
This necessarily takes great deal Of time
and more than usual, now that 30 many
clerks are away On their summer leave,
thus reducing the clerical force which,
when full, is Just sufficient for the ordina'
~ current of business. So that although
tho Syndicate has received and paid Tor
fifty millions oil new fives, but little more
than thirty millions can appear in the
debt statement.
