Bonds offered for Exchange.

The operation of the refunding law has
thus far fully justified the expectations of
Secretary Gage and Treasurer Roberts and
has greatly aided In relieving the conges-
ton of funds in the treasury. Treasurer
Roberts estimates that the bonds Offered
for exchange into the new . per cents will
reach $4o0,ooO,UOO by the close of the call
endar year, unless the offer to refund Is
suspended within short time by Secretary
Gage. The presentation of bonds for ex-
change has been somewhat irregular of
late. The amount has sagged below half
million for some days, only to rise again
above Sl,UD,OD as was the case on Sat
urday last. The presentations on that day
We're 81 ,5'6,I0 and carried the total amount
presented under the law to S}O3 434 600.
There is definite reason for anticipating
further presentations. because national
banks still have pledged to secure circula-
ton about $29,NU,OaD in bonds available for
refunding and about s34,'snOO of the same
bonds pledged to secure public deposits A
small part of the latter may not be pre-
sented for exchange. but more than 500 O0O,-
HD from these two items alone are expect
ed to reach the treasury within a few
weeks.
The elements counted upon to provide
an additional sum of s46OOO,uOO are the in
crease in circulation by the national banks
by the purchase of old bonds for refunding
from private holders and the exchanges by
trustees and other private holders. who
place safety above the rate of the return
upon the investment. Thus far the banks
have pledged the new per cent bonds for
circulation to the amount of S233, ,0SO, $50
and to secure public deposits to the amount
of S43.914, 40. This total of about s277 900 :
HO leaves about s26,5AO,NO Of the new IS
in private hands or in process of exchange
but it is anticipated that considera BILE
portion Will hna!ly reach the banks.

the risk of going beyond the facts The
receipts since November from both Gus

remarkable rate and expenditures have been
falling Off The month of June has al
ready shown a surplus of $S,522. .439. and

far for the month have been $36, ,2S2. .439

practice of taking up the actual receipts
of the last day of the fiscal year will re-
suit in the inclusion of the receipts re-
ported to the treasury Monday, July 2.

ready recorded This will carry the nomi-
nal receipts for June to about $4S, 600,
