ID RH|EVE STR|NGENCY.
Action Taken by Secretary Shaw to Relieve the Stringency in
 the Money Market.
FOUR MILLIONS TO BE TURNED LOOSE.
In Additi on October Interest, Amount ing tn Over Four Millions More, Will be snticipatcd-The seere- tary Sees No Occasion for Alarm fin Financial Circles.

Was hington, Sept. 14.-Secretary Shaw has issued the following state ment:
 Secretary Shaw has made arrange ments to release about $4,0oO.000 of the treasury holdings He has had q list prepared of those national banks throughout the country which held free or pledged bonds at the date of their last report, and has made in quiries for others. After making al- lowance for changed conditions since last report, he expects this will re- lease at least S4,000000. He has sent notice to all such that if they will send these bonds to the treasurer of the United States in sums of $50,009 or more, they will be designated as temporary depositaries, and the face value of the bonds will be deposited with them to the credit of the treas urer of the United States. He has pursued this course in preference to designating depositaries in the or
 
 buy bonds in the market at large premium. thus paying out more for the bonds than they get from the gov ernment. The customs receipts are extremely heavy at this season of the year, and the cash balance of the treasury has been gradually increas- ing.
 To Anticipate october Interest.
 He has also decided to anticipate the October interest, amounting to about $4,200.000, and with this in view orders have been issued to inc various sub-trcasuries to cash such coupons as may be presented them for pay ment. and the treasurer of the United States has been instructed te mail checks for interest on the registered bonds All this was decided upon some days ago. and letters and tele- grams prepared
 The secretary sees in present con ditions no occasion for alarm. He calls attention to the fact that there is no evidence of currency famine, prospective or present, elsewhere than In New York, and even there the rate is not high for commercial paper and for commercial paper he has the greater solcitude. He is well satis- fled with his efforts to increase circll- lation. which he decided upon in he early summer when present eendi- tions were plainly visible, and has the presses busy preparing to meet an emergency which he does not expect, but which he thinks it is wise to pro vide against.
