A return from tho Treasury Department
shows that Of the registered per cent bonds
only thirty-six are owned abroad, or by for
eignera. In this country they are divided
among 1888 holders. The whole amount In
vested In those securities Ia about $780,
100000. The ownership Of the coupon 4
per cents cannot, Of course. be 80 accu-
rately traced. The amount invested In
these bonds lie about s52,oo0,OOo. These
figures show that the registered bonds
are more than two and half times as popu-
lar as the coupon bonds fact that indicates
permanent investment for certain income.
Well-informed bankers ia. New York declare
that over 400 100000, but less than 25o, 600 900,
OF our national bonds are yet in Europe.

Since the first of January the interest pay
mente In this country are said to have aRgre-
gated s24, 25a,637 on United States bonds,
and over $22, LOO, 600 on railroad shares besides
large sums paid by State and municipal gov
ernments, manufacturing concerns, banks,
etc. Much Of this money will naturally be
Invested. and as choice investments, such as
are safe and profitable, are scarce and high,
the demand for 4per cent governments is
remarkably large. About eleven million dol
lars worth Of per cents were taken In this
country on the seventh instant, that being
The largest amount sold Ia any single day.

The Netherlands Trading society. an asso

The Netherlands Trading Society an asso
citation organized In Holland fifty years ago
OF worldwide reputation, Ia about to estab
lish an agency in New York to invest It's su,,
plus wealth wherever It will pay. This com
pany, with capital of $I4,spo 900, has com
mercial relations with Java. Celebes. japan
Sumatra, Borneo, Dutch Guiana, the Straits
settlements VAnd the Malacca Islands. with
correspondents In Ceylon, British India, the
Philippine Islands, China and Australia."
There are no merchants more prudent
or cautious or far-seeing In their
undertakings than those OF the Netherlands.
Their commerce. though far less than what IL
once was, IL still very extensive. although II
has been carried on of late years principallv
with the East Indies and the ports NJ the
Baltic. The proposed establishment Of an
angency OF the company in this country in
dicates revival of that old trading shirt
which at one time covered the high seas with
the ships Of Netherlanders, and 1t NAV be
taken also as an evidence Of the belief Of tbe
managers OF this great commercial CORPORA
ton that a new era Of prosperity is opening
to the United States, in which they hone 70
share. Besides dealing in merchandise gen.
orally, the agency of the company in New
York will add to its functions banking and
financial brokerage business on large scale.
We are glad to learn that there Is a pros
pect that the tobacco tax question, which has
