The Price of Garernment Bonds.

Government three and three and a
half per cent. bonds sold the other lay
st an advance of nearly two per cent.
over the prices current when congress
assembled. The four per cent. bonds.
on the other hand, have declined sharr-
ly. These changes are significant when
taken In connection with the recent
activity of the market for governme Mt
securities. They reflect the belief of
bankers, capitalists and Wall street
speculators that there will be yery
large reduction of the public revenues
during the present session, and that the
redemption of the bonds will proceed
much more slowly than heretofore.
This being so, the lower premium bonds
which were regarded as liable to be
called IN st a very early day, would
possibly have long lease of life.
Hence the demand for them which has
resulted in their advance in price. The
decline in the high premium bonds
which have fixed tenure of existence
indicates that banks and other corpora
tons have ben selling them and sub
stituting for them the lower priced
securities 1t is accepted as an axiom
in Wall street that congress always goes
from one extreme to the other, and
SPECTATORS are predicting that the
efforts of the two political parties in
the present congress to Guido each
other in cutting down the receipts of
the government will result in such a
sweeping reduction as will leave no
surplus to be applied to cancelling
bonds Tor long time to come.

Thy crown for another "Why?" you ask.
Thou 1t waken tomorrow, and understand.
Nothing is finished From birth to the pail
Our love, our sorrow, that is all,

When the life that is perfect holds its sway,
And tomorrow melts into Gods to-day.
