Washington, March 27.-Secretary
Shaw took an important step yester-

relief of the money market next fall.
He has resumed the refunding opera
tions suspended by Secretary Gage for
reasons not entirely satisfactory at
that time.
The present secretary of the treas
ury, after full consultation with the
financial authorities of New York and
elsewhere, has determined to take up
the work of %refunding the national
debt exactly where Secretary Gage
dropped it. The result of this will be
to get rid of a large percentage of the
higher-priced government bonds and
substitute for them two per cent.

on live spiders. and the mother wasp,

live a month-and then deposits it in
the cocoon where she has laid her
egg. On Matching out the wasp grubs

the circulation based on the two per
cent. bonds is taxed only at the rate of
half a cent a year, whereas all other
circulation is taxed twice as much as
that.
The refunding of the three and four
per cent. loans, which are due in 1908
and 1907, will therefore add largely to
the available supply Of government
bonds and thus furnish an inducement
to the national banks to increase their
circulation.
Will Prevent Stringency.
The ability of the treasury to loan
more money to the national banks un-
der the present law has practically
terminated, first, because the available
cash balance is not any too large, and,
secondly, because the supply o fgovern-
ment bonds is so small there is little
more inducement for the banks to re-
ceive government deposits than to is
sue circulation.
If the s~ecretary's plans are carried
out it will put into the hands Of the
banks for a basis for government de-
posts no less n sum than $33O,O0O.O 900 of
government bonds. In. this way it
ought to be easy for the big national
banks to issue enough circulation to
provide money for moving the crops
next fall without producing any un-
usual stringency in the money market.

vides that ~untenanted farms and graz

land r recoverable by the land COM
mission. and not the arrears for n
year only, as previously cabled. The
given power in special cases to remit
part or all of the arrears
