he staggered to his feet with Il game
effort. but had to seek the ropes to keep
his feet and hands there. Ten seconds
hal passed and La Blanche had paid
back the old score and won 5j.OeO. lie sat

get his senses Dempsey staggered into
Ia Blanches corner, fell upon the VIC

Government BOnds.


WASHINGTON, AUGUST 2S.-Again to-
day the bonds purchased by the Irea-
sury were large in amount 81, SSS, 800.
This makes the total amount purchased
in the last three days nearly 81 !, 600, eco.
For these bonds tine Government paid
about 2ll.00O,0O0. The Treasury sur
plus was SO, 1900 ten days ago, but
Las now decreased to about So, 900, GOO.
Recommendations have been made TO
Secretary Bachelor that 1t would be
well for the Government TO advance its
Luying prices in the face of large offer
ings. rs otherwise the sudden reaction
would be felt, which would result III II
refusal OF the bon5holders to offer to
sell. Mr. Batchcilor, however, takes
the ground that the bonds coming
into the department are offered by
firms OF the highest financial reputation,
and under the circumstances which
make 1t manifest that as they are not
pinched aud obliged to sell they must
have reached tho conclusion that it IS
the best thing 10 DO. Therefore, he Is
rather more inclined TO lower than I'D
vance prices, AMI believes that after n
few DAYS business on the scale OF to-
day aud yesterday no harm would fol-
low if the predicted rise in market rates
occurred, us the department would DO
ready for breathing spell. The re
ccipts Of the Government from internal
revenue during the last month were
gil, 49,. 932. showing an increase of
| 81. 3O7. 1873 as compared with the receipts
