INTEREST ON BONDS.
Decided by Treasury Department to
| Pay 1t in Advance.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Assistant
\ Secretary Vanderlip has decided to an
ticipate the interest for the entire fiscal
year, the period ending with July /,
1900.
The interest due November 1st will
be paid in full without discount, but
| if holders of bonds wish to take advan-
tage of the offer to anticipate interest
due on subsequent dates, discount
at the rate of two-tenths of one per
cent a month will be exacted.
The amount of interest due from
now to the end of the fiscal year is
about S30,000000. The prepayment of
! this amount will, it is believed, be a
relief of much Importance to the pres
J ent stringent money market, While, on
the other hand, the discount will be
saving of a large amount to the Gov
ernment. The Treasurer is in posi-
tion to advance these interest payments
with the least embarrassment.
| The interest due November 1St is
made up of the 3 per cent. loan of 1898,
the 5s of 1904, and the As of 1928. There
| is S1,600 $50 coupon interest which will
| be payable at all sub-treasuries Octo-
! Der 31st-the books for the registered
/ bonds of 1904 and 1926 do not close
! until the 10Th. The checks for the in
terest on those registered bonds will
/ be mailed October 25th. and the checks
/ for the interest on the registered 3s
will be mailed October 23d. The total
prepayment of November interest is

"The Treasury is in a position to un-
dertake very readily the prepayment
of all the interest due during this fis-
cal year, large as is that amount"

day The cash balance is an extraor-
dinarily large one. being now nearly
year ago, but we were then just re-
ceiving the payments for the 100000,

however, is far larger than it has been

tinue to bear anything like so favorable
a relation to expenditures as they have

instead of being reduced

between now and July 1st is $50, $780,
