UNCLE SAM QUITS
 BUYING BONDS
Ee Finds He Disturbs the Marke ts
 and Affects Bank Circulation.

Washington. March 14.-The secre- tary of the treasury mas announced that he will discontinue for the present the purchase of United States bonds of the per cent loan of 1904 the per cent funded loan Of 1907, the per cent loan of 19GS-191S and the i per cent loan of 1925, such discontinuance to take effect 1t the close of business tomorrow.
 The secretary believes that the price If the bonds is unreason2bly high. and the effect of the government being per manently in the market is to stimulate and help maintain this price to the prejudice of national bank circula tion. Banks are said to be retiring their cir culation as rapidly as possible pre- sumably for the purpose of selling bonds now on deposit at the present prices. or for the purpose of using them with the treasury as security for gov ernment deposits. In making govern ment deposits the secretary is disposed to discriminate in favor Of such banks as maintain their circulation, and by these two methods he hopes to over come the tendency to retire bank circu- lation.

CONSOLIDATED
 ADMISSION BILLS
Time Saving Process Adopted By
 House Committee on Territories.

Washington. March 14.-The house committee on territories today decided upon an "omnibus'' territorial bill. which provides for statehood for Art- zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, in stead of separate statehood bills for each territory. These bills heretofore have been separate. but today were harmonized in their provisions, and Chairman Knox was authorized to in corporate them in one measure.
 Representative DeGraffenreid of Tex as made the motion to consolidate the bills, which motion was so framed as to instruct the chairman to submit to the house one bill and one report, to the end that action may be taken at enc time and at the earliest possible date, on the question of advancement of all of the said territories.
