Success Of the Operation Mainly Due

operations under the financial act O.
March IA last closed with the year, the
books of the department having beer
open to the exchange of bonds for 9
period of 912 months. In discussing the
subject Assistant Secretary VanderliI
said:
1.-The rerunding has been successful
from every standpoint. Holders of the
| old bonds, IS, is and IS Of 1908. 1907
and 1904 respectively, have voluntarily
offered for exchange into Is, approx
mately $43a,O0O0O0 out Of $S39,O00, 900,
leaving on outstanding of this part of the
interest bearing public debt less than one
half the amount subject 10 the law. Ex-
act figures will not be known for sew
eral days, as some bonds are still in
transit.
The net saving 10 the government of
interest by these transactions is substall-
italy SlO,7O0000. This saving has been
accomplished by the payment now of the
sum of $42,2O0,0 900 which is really an
anticipation Of $52,900,0 600 interest which
would have had to be paid within the
next eight years in case the old bonds
were permitted TO run to maturity. The
difference is the net saving.
The per cents Of 1907 have been
exchanged in greater amount than any
other class, their total up to and includ-
ing Dec. 20 being S2G4 100000. OF the
per cents of 1908 $4,000 900 was cx-
changed and of the . per cents Of 1904
