Purchased by Philadelphia Bankers Nom
day Morning ut n slight Premium--it
Speaks Well for Wilmington.
A premium was offered Monday
at tho CITY treasurer's office for total
OF 100000 of city bonds. Tho offer
was made by Starr & Co., Philadelphia
bankers, and was accepted by Messrs.
Gayley, Rowland and Young, the NUM-
cipal Sinking Fund Commissioners.
No fact could better emphasize the
remarkable status Of Delaware securi-
ties than this incident of tho morning
when the bonds of the metropolis Of the
State can, in the midst Of the present
stringency existing all over the country,
be offered on the public market and can
command a premium. 1t is true the
premium is small. But the mere fact OF
commanding premium at all when
financial concerns are topping over in
every direction is something unique In
the history of public finance. 1t must
| be remembered also that the bankers
who offered the premium are prominent
financiers of Philadelphia who know
exactly what they are doing and are
| fully Informed on all phases of munich
pal securities throughout the United
States. Large western towns and some
in the east also cannot even float theil
bonds, when at the same time Whining
ton securities command premium.

Senator Gray Says the Measure Should
Be Promptly Repealed by the Next
Congress.
New York World, July 95th.
TO The Editor of The World: The next
Congress should promptly repeal the Sher.
man law. The Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House should be organized with
leave to sit in the recess of Congress, and
it should take up the matter of tariff re-
form and have a well and carefully pre-
pared bill to present to the House
at the regular session in December.
The extra session could then adjourn. 1t
would be well also to provide for COM
mission of well-equipped and impartial
experts to consider and report TO the regu-
lar session ON the whole monetary ques.
ton. This will, in my opinion, relieve the
present situation and afford well-grounded
hope for wise and conservative legislation
in the future. GEORGE GRAY (Dem.)
