retary Window says that from ad.
vices already received he felt much
encouraged as to his line of policy
regarding the maturing of United
States bonds and that, judging
from present indications. IL would

of six per cent. bonds announcing
concurrence in the Secretary's
plan and saying that they preferred
to have their bonds extended at 81

men, including members OF the
Senate Finance Committee, called
on the Secretary this afternoon and
rendered congratulations upon the
course adopted, unanimously pre-
dieting its success. Senator Sher-

the Department that he favors the
course which the Secretary has
concluded to pursue. There is
every reason to believe that the
same plan will be pursued with re-
gard to the outstanding five per
cents. The Department was busi-
ly engaged to-day sending out cir

the six per cent. bonds and their
conversion into 81 certificates.
