THE demand for four per cent. bonds
has fallen off from millions down to
from $4,000 to 100000 daily. This fact
is accounted for in this wise: The
banks were allowed three months in
which to pay for the large amount of
bonds they purchased on commission;
that time is now up and the banks are
TO- cling their bonds upon the market in
order to realize and settle with the gov
eminent; rs they sell in competitive
market they offer for lower figures than
the government; hence for the time the
banks are selling the bonds and the de-
mand falls off at Washington.

been on the supreme bench for about
six years. In consequence of his illness
the supreme court now consists of only
eight judges, and is liable at any time
to be divided in opinion on questions
before it, which necessarily affirms the
judgment brought up for review, as no
order affecting it can be entertained
where half the court would affirm and
half reverse it.
