the week ending to-day was the maturity of the
last Treasury call for per cent bonds. The prnci-
pal call matured July 81 and the last call, which
ouly embraced 100000, the remaining amount of
the loan of S5S, expired on July %. Thus far the

amounted to over $77, 7O0,O 600, with balance IN
favor of the payments amounting to $7,675,9o6
