LARGE SAVING TO THE TREASURY.
-~~-po,rrs ROBINSON EXCHANGES 81, 100000 IN
STATE sIxEs FOR So, $4,000 OF BOUNTY STOCK
ACTUAL CASH GAIN TO THE STATE, $S4,5l.
URoN THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF rnE 1RiBUNkl
ALBANY, Feb. 7.-COntroller Robinson has just
effected transfer of certain of the stocks Oh 'iie
bounty debt sinking funds that results IN manu-
some gain to the State. The Controllers report
Tec 81. 1875. showed that the bounty debt
.mounted to $l4,744,5O The securities in the
sinking fund to meet this amounted to SS,Soo-
l44 O9. leaving balance of the debt above the Sc
surities of S5,s59,O55. This balance Is almost all
provided for by the proceeds of the twomil tax OF
1878. amounting to 81, ,735 $50, which will reach
the Treasury in April and May; the premium on
100000 securities which Will amount 10
81 200, 900; interest on investments, &c. leaving
the balance unprovided for only $7O5,9S2.
Among the SsOO0000 in securities which form
the bounty debt capital sinking fund, there have
been 81 OOO, 900 in State stock per cent, redeem
able Oct. l, 1892. The Controller has disposed OF
these 10 the highest bidders Messrs. F. F. Olcott ~
Co. Of New-YOrk. They were taken ct llo, ana III
lieu of the stock received $2,3sO,0OO IN bounty
stock at par. The premium on the $Z,ooo'ooo III
.ixes at I1o amounts to $38O,OO0 and accepting
the bounty stock as at per cent premium at least
the premium on the 50 $50 600 is $95 2OO the total
being Si7520O. To get the total net gam TO the
treasury by the transaction, there must be deducted
however accrued interest at six per cent for iOut
months and five days, on the skies, ana goid
premium on the interest at 1234, which amounts 10
Si6.979 II, leaving the net gain at $l2e,ZZo 3d.
Putting the bounty stock at per cent premium
and computing the interest on the skies Tor four
months and five days and premium on the interest,"
bring the SKIES 1921 II in the exchange.
The figure just given does not represent, however,
the actual cash gain to the Treasury. There Is ac-
crued on the So $50 900, received in exchange for
the S21, 600 900, one months interest, which was
included in the per cent premium III the former
statement and amounts to Sl6,197 2l. This makes
the whole amount received 2. .396, 1877 21. Deduct
ing from this s., ,O46,979 II, being the value, in
cluding interest and premium on the skies, there Is
left S31921S OF. From this must be taken
S202, ,84S SO, which the amount of the premium
paid on the skies when they were originally
purchased This leaves SS4,571 16 as the actual
cash gain to the Treasury by the transactions TO tins
should be added the premium which the Controller
could be compelled to pay purchasing these bonds
