1HE 4l.2 PER CENT
Statement by ssorstaIy Foster About
Rsfunding Them.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Aug. l6.-This
statement was made yesterday by Secretary
Foster in regard to the refunding operations
and the fnar cial situation generally:
About $40, SOC, 900 Of A per cent bonds
have been extended, and applications have
been received covering about $4,000, 600
more. What the final outcome may be Of
course do not know. Itis probable. how
ever, that considerable portion Of the bal
ance $50, ,000, ,0C0) will be extended.
at will be no hardship to the treasury to
be called upon to pay those net extended.
In fact, such payment will add by the
amount paid, to the money in the hands Of
the people. BY the extension we succeed
in preve ntiDg decrease Of national bank
notes, and in fact, have 80 far increased
their circulation nearly 81 ,00e. 900. The
outlook is that considerable more Of an in
crease will be effected.
II am not fading any fault with the
action of the banks, as might be inferred
from recent publications. saw Mr.. Sher-
man at Mansfield. | always fad it pffit-
able to discuss money matters with him.
do not recall single disagreement be-
tween US. The statement telegraphed from
Mansfield, regarding our conference, is =
pure romance.
while there 10 less money in the treas
ury than for many years past, it is in =
comfortable condition. Because Of less
money in the treasury it follows that more
money than ever before is in the hands Of
the people, thus facilitating the conduct Of
the busines Of the country. We sre on a
gold basis and there is no occasion for
alarm as to The ability Of the government
to maintain this condition.
THE secretary has ample power to main
tain or increase the present reserve OF gold.
may add that Mr.. Sherman fully sgrees
with me re egarding the legal power Of the
secretary, as above expressed. do not see
any occasion for the exercise Of this power,
but do not hesitate to say that, should the
occasion arise, shall not fail to use it.
