On Monday afternoon, April I, at

PURCHASE OF BONDS
Not Known Whether Secreta-
ry Shaw is Considering
Such a Plan.

Washington, October i5--On Septeill-
ber 26th last. Secretary Shaw issued a
notice to the effect that the department.
would purchase any Of the United
States five per cent. bonds of 1904 at
s1.05 fiat if presented on or before Octo-
Der 18th today.
Under that offer the secretary mas
purchased fives to the amount Of s22 500.
Some days after this notice was is
sued, the secretary announced that Of
fers for the sale Of government threes
and fours would be considered by the
department, but intin,at ID that the
prices must be low if sales were made.
Offers under this announcement have
been received aggregat.ng as follows:
$4,000, 900 fours Of 1925 a; s13S. 5: 100000
fours Of 1907 at s111.50. All Of these Of
ferS have beer rejected Secretary
Shaw is now on his way to Oakland
City Ind, where he will deliver polit-
ical speech tomorrow evening.
When asked in regaIi 70 the state
ment that the secretary was planning
to purchase a large block OF bonds. the
treasury officials now teIe declined, in
the secretary's absence, to discuss the
matter further than 10 say that the
report probably was withou. founda-
ton. The fact that the sacretary has Sc
far declined all bond offers is taken as
conclusive that he is not at present at
least in the market.
