The bond purchases by the secretary
of the treasury last week were
exceptionally heavy, aggregating more
than $1,000, 900. The highest price
paid for 4 per cents was 1870, and for
a per cents, 1914. The total amount
Of the purchases under the circular of
April II to the end of the week was
S5S, 266 800. The amounts of the two
kinds purchased and the amounts paid
for them were as follows:
4 per cent .......... 49,, 400, $50 $45, 315, 26S

Totals. 900. ...... S63, 268,s 800 S64, 800 ,163
From this it appears that the pre-

or an average of over 81 per cent. on
the face value of all the bonds pur-
chased. Since the circular was issued
the advance in 4 per cents has been
