WAsHINGTON, ID. c., March 27.-The
AZ per cent loan, Of which Il little
more than $50, 600, 900 is now outstaud-
ing. will mature September lSt next.
The Treasury officials say there will be
no trouble whatever in meeting il, and
that il was regarded as matter OF so
little concern that it was not thought
necessary to bring it to the attention OF
Congress. The department stands
ready now to redeem these bonds with
with interest TO maturity, and the small
amount presented each day is taken as
an indication that the holders are in no
particular hurry to dispose Of them.
A prominent official said this afternoon
that the department will be able to re-
deem all on the day Of maturity If they
shall be presented, but that the history
OF all government loans indicates that
there is no possibility Of such thing,
and that it will be- found that a large
amount OF these bonds will not be pre-
sented for many months after the inter-
est has ceased to run. While the avail
able cash balance in the Treasury is
now only about 100000 the govern
ment has about S30, 1000, 900 additional
on deposit in National banks, which can
be utilized i'm case OF necessity.
