WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Secretary Car
Isle issued a circular inviting proposals
for 00OO,0 600 per cent bonds redeemable
after 10 years, the bonds to hear interest
at per cent per annum. Allotments OF
bonds will be made to the highest bidders
therefor, but no proposal will be consid-
cred at lower price than Sll7 ,22S which
is the equivalent of a 3 per cent bond at
par. The bonds will be in denominations
of $50 and upward.
Secretary Carlisle was forced to this is
sue by the apparent improbability Of Sc
curing Immediately any action by congress
authorizing shorter term and lower rate
of interest.
The statement Of Senator Voorhees,, the
chairman of the finance committee, was
the potent factor in inducing Secretary
Carlisle to take the action he did. 1t seemed
TO be a matter Of regret among treasury
officials that some other step could not be
taken by which shorter term obligations
could have been issued. but the 10 year
bonds are the shortest he can issue under
the act of 1870 Anticipatory of this action
by the secretary preparations have been
made by the bureau of engraving and
printing to prepare the bonds There will
be no delay in turning out the blanks as
fast as may be necessary.
Fifteen offers, aggregating in value S40,-
100000. have been awaiting the secretary
pleasure. One of these was for sos, 600, 600
