the second issued in 1864 and 1865, only
1918 90 has been presented for redemption
and of the third, issued in 1861, only
$1O,O44 90 has been presented. Inc concur
sion that nearly the whole of these notes, now
reported as outstanding, has been lost or de-
stroycd, and will never bc presented for re-
demption, is further fortified by the TACT that
of the first issue less than 100000 has been
redeemed within four years, ana less
ihan $4,000 within the past year
that of the second issue less thah
100000 has been presented WITHIN iNe
wears; and of the third issue only ABOUT
500, 900 has been presented within the past
wear. . 1t is safe to say that $lo,5oo,ooo oi
the notes of these three issues Will never APP
pear for redemption. AT least S4,ooo'ooo
more of the fourth and fifth issues has doubt
less disappeared in the same way. As yet there
arc no data enabling us to judge how large
rarf of the legal tenders reported outstanding
have in like manner been lost or Destroyer
but it must have been considerable.

duties. At Boston, the imports thus iar thi'
wear lave been 81 100000 less than during
tbe same months of 1915. Under such CIR
cumstanccs, we may consider it fortunate that
Ihc Treasury has been able to make any re-
duction in the debt.
Aport from the changes noted IN me dept
used a-currency, and the payment OF interest,
tlc only change has been in the payment OF
acOl eco Of debt upon which interest has
ceased. Nearly the whole of this sum was IN
called bonds, and the aggregate OF that class
of Indebtedness is now reduced to T329''-
7GO %. OF this sun, probably TtOO'ooo al
Ioast is represented by certificates which hay"
been lost or destroyed and will not be presented.
Thus there has been absolutely no change
during the month in sixteen OF the classes Oh

500 of the scycn-thirtics, only $500 oil inc

I'LL DIET STlTLNLNT.

I'm the halcy0n DAYS of MrsSrs. boutwell, and
Richardson, when Treasury revenues were as
vet undmuishcd by the financial disaster
which their false policy did much To pro-
ducc, cach monthly debt statement brought Us
news that "A large reduction had been elected
in the interest bearing debt and 10 rcduc-
ton. but often an increase, in that part of the
debt used as currency. The times have
changed Since Jan. ! there has been an
increase Of $7,OOO,OOO, and since April l
scarcely any change, i'll the bonded debt.
During the past month there has been
no change whatever Yet the reduction
of the public debt continues, and the most
Qualifying feature Of the monthly reports Is
that they show steady decrease, not only III
that part of the debt on which interest has
ceased but yet more in that part of the debt
which is used as currency. During the past
month"; interest amounting 10 Sl3,GG3,71O So
has been paid in excess Of interest actrulng
during the month; the debt on which interest
has ceased has been reduced $50 $50; and
the debt used as currency has been reduced
81 6gG. 500. 70 effect these changes the coin
owned by the Treasury has been reduced ST.
1880 u, and the currency Sll3,792 u.
Thu, the net reduction Of debt is only
81 ,13S,033 93.
Tie reduction in legal tenders outstanding
has been amail-only Slj3,lsl. As the bal
ancc in the Treasury has been reduced by i
larger sum, the amount of legal tenders in
actual use has been increased. A. the redcmp
ton OF bank notes has been much larger than
the amount of legal tenders deposited for the
retirement of circulation, the legal tenders in
use have also been increased from this cause
about 81 400, 900. On the other hand the
bank circulation has been materially dimin-
ishcd; on the 1St of July it vas $3.50, $751;
PIG, and on the 30th it was 1927, Sl7, J07, in
each case exclusive Of gold notes. Thus the
operations of the month have resulted ina rcduc-
ton of the currency in use, apart from !rac
tonal notes, of about S1,25O,O0O. The re-
tirement of 81 ,5i3,7l5 in fractional currency
during the month makes the total decrease
of paper promises used as money about
So, 100000. 1t is important to observe how
small part of the fractional currency brought
in for redemption has been of the earlier
issues and the following shows the amount
redeemed of each issue during the months of
May, June, and July, and now outstanding:
