THE law authorizing the exchange of the 3!
per cent bonds for per cent. having been
passed by both Houses of Congress, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury is considering the man
.ner in which the exchange shall be effected.
The chief reason for the holders of the 34's
seeking the exchange into IS, win be the COM
Daratiye permanenCy of the new bonds. The
relative permaneHcy of the SIS among them
selves depends upon the priority III which they
are issued. There viii be a struggle for prior
ity, and the manner in which the offers Of sur
render shall be received, so as to deal fairly
with all proponents, is the question which the
Department must settle. 1t is now thought
date will be fixed-say the first of August-on

ters Of surrender.

that any mode OF proceeding in The Patent Office
or any regulation would lead IN any case to the
exclusion OF important evidence bearing upos
