DROPPING GOVERNMENT BONDS
insurance Companies Turning to
More Active Securities.

Government bonds have ceased to be at
tractive TO the investors of to-day accord
ing to report received by bankers from
Washington. Until recently most of the
great insurance companies of the East kept
a large part of their resources in these
securities, which, as the companies were
not in the light of bankers investing money
belonging to others, and were therefore not
compelled to earn more on the investment
than was paid for the use of the money,
netted them a fair return. OF late, how
ever, most of these investments have been
Withdrawn and the money formerly tied up
in government bonds has been invested in
more active securities, principally those Of
prosperous railroads.
An attempt has been made to accurately
ascertain the greatest amount of money in
vested by insurance companies in govern
ment bonds at any one time, and 1T is be-
lieved that during the panic the principal
Eastern companies had over $500O0,000 in
them. The recent industrial and CONNER
cial activity has stimulated conservative in
vestment to the extent that these large cor
porations are now only carrying such
amounts of bonds they required to
keep on deposit in the different States and
countries for the protection Of policy-hold-
erS in those States.

SILVER COIN COUNTERFEITING.
The Proposal to Increase the Size of
Coins-Cost of Such a Work.
Washington Letter in New York Post.

Attention has recently been called to the
practical impossibility of putting an end 10
the counterfelting ot silver coins by In
the commercial value of the silver. The
loss TO the government would be so great.
would think X of Undertaking il. An officfai
connected with the Mint Bureau, however,
suggests that the counterfeiting evil might
be overcome, for all pracueai purposes and
size of the subsidiary coins, and leaving the
silver dollars just as they are. The silver
certificate so largely takes the place of the
silver dollar and III counterfeiting of that
coin should increase. could almost entirely
take its place, that in his opinion there il
no real need of putting dollar $ worth of
silver or Whereabouts In silver dollar But
the silver fifty-cent piece, in its present
shape, he regards as grave menace to our
currency system. 1t Is his gloomy predic-
tion that the counterfeiting OF this coin cam
not be successfully prevented. The public
does not want fractional paper currency
An enormous number OF silver haf-dollars
are bound TO remain in circulation. He
would put approximately fifty cents worth
of silver into them. just enough less to
prevent their recoinage for commercial
NOUS profit to be made by counterfeiting
them. The popularity about this would be
that the silver dollar and the silver half
dollar would be essentially the same size
The only difference would be I'm the govern
mcnt stamp. Perhaps this might be a val
uable object lesson In every day finance
The twenty-five-cent piece might have 10 be
treated in the same way. although the coun-
terfeiters are not at present operating much
with that coin. Our subsidiary silver could
be adjusted for about S40,opOoo.
In discussing the loss on paper which
would follow any change of our currency
ratio, treasury officials recall the letter
which Secretary Carlisle sent TO Senator
VOORHEES, on Aug. 10. 1893. when the SherJ
man repeal controversy was at it's height.
Many persons had proposed changing tho
ratio OF the standard silver dollar from IL
