There was a cleaning up Tuesday of the Yayapai bonds The last of the issue amounting to $29. 1000 were dis posed of to Seasongood & Mayer of Cincinnati for S31 ,61S.7O and interest There were several bidders and. ac- cording to the terms of the adver tisement. two forms of bids were submitted by each. E. H. Rollins & Son, of Denver offered par and ac- crued interest and premium of 3.27 pc rcent. They further offered the sum of S31 300 with accrued interest from the date of the bonds to the date of delivery. the bonds to bear per cent. Herbert Kraft & Co.,, bankers of Red Bluff, Cal. offered par with accrued interest, says the Phoenix Republican.
 The bid of the New First National Bank of Columbus, O., was with ac- crued interest from date and a pre- mium of $550. The sale of the bonds is very gratifying to the loan commis- sion, as it shows the rising credit of the territory. The commission con graduated itself on the disposition of the university bonds. but the pre- mium on the university bonds, but mium in this case is still greater.
