Relief to Money Market.
One OF the most important effects OF the
refunding law Is the relief afforded to the
money market by the inducement to swell
the bank note circulation. The circulation
secured by bonds stood on January 1 at
500, 759 695. and the bonds pledged had a
par value OF $234. 49,. so The circulation
secured by bonds rose to S2s6 Az .i34 on
July 81. and the bonds pledged to secure
circulation rose to S294. .94S 800 There has
been an increase. therefore, in seven
months. chiefly due to the inducements of
the refunding law. amounting to about S60.-
nobD in the bonds deposited and 1000
600 in the circulation. The circulation will
rise to almost the exact amount Of the
bonds pledged as soon as plates can be pre-
pared at the bureau of engraving and
