WANTS LARGE CIRCULATION
Secretary Hay Is Against Banks Who
Decrease Their Circulation.

Washington, March l3.-Secretary Shaw
has under consideration the question Of
disseminating the purchase of govern
ment bonds for the sinking fund. he sec
rotary has not definitely decided what he
wiil do, nor is he willing 20 discuss the
matter for publication but it is known
that ne is doing nothing to encourage
holders of bonds TO dispose of then. to
the government and in fact rather dis
eourages sales. The present high price o.
bonds is an inducement for banks 70 sell
those they have on deposit with The gov
eminent and reduce their circulation.
This, the secretary THINKS. is TO he re-
GREETED. and a few days ago announced
that such banks rs reduced their ciicula-
ton would not be appointed public de-
positories. The fact that the government
is in the market stimulates the price oC
bonds 50 that the effect is just contrary
TO what is desired. Il is quite probable
that the secretary VIII decide whether
he VIII continue purchases or not.
