THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Purchase of Four Per Cents,
 WASHINGTON, May 19.-There is author1- ty for the statement thathere has been no conference held at the Treasury department to consider the expediency of purchasing four per cent. bonds. Had these declined last week much below 119 Treasury officials say Secretary Folger would have been justi- fled in investing the balance due the sinking fund and surplus revenues on hand in them, for by so doing there would have been large saving over an investment in three per cents. at par. Authority for such action, they say, may be found in the sinking fund act and in supplemental acts which authorize the Secretary from time to time to apply the surplus money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, or so much as he may consider proper, to the purchase or redemption of United States bonds, provided that the bonds so purchased or redeemed shall com stitute no part of the sinking fund, but shall be cancelled"
