The report shows that on the 21st of

amount the books of the City Treasurer

Bardsley had been carrying as cash in
the city treasury S196,043 Of worthless
checks drawn on the keystone Bank. In

amount be charged to his account as CITY
Treasurer in the keystone Bank and
credited to his personal account. This
Drew refused to do. The only evidence

Important Conference.

New YORK, June 4.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Foster held conference to-day
with number of leading bankers and
brokers of this city in regard to the four
and half per cent. bonds to be redeemed
by the Government on September LIST.
The result of the discussion was the
adoption of a resolution expressing an
opinion that in view of the necessity of
the increase of circulating notes for the
movement of abundant crops, it is to the
interest of the country at large to extend
the maturing four and half per cent
bonds at the rate of two per cent, payable
at the pleasure of the Government, and
that lower rate of interest would tend to
contract the currency.
