Circulation Outstanding.

The amount of bank circulation out
standing at the close of business Tues
day night was $500, 041, 7O5. December
81 of last year it was $3S4,9 29. 7s4, and
that was considered a very high figure.
The banks had taken some pains dur
ing October, November and December
OF last year to stimulate and increase
their circulation, and when they at
tanned the figures reported by the de-
partment on the last day of the year
they thought they had done their full
duty,

Refundine Plan Aids.

Secretary Shaw's latest r%efundine
scheme is thought to be responsible
for the extraordinary expansion of
bank circulation. The last official
statement regarding the operations of
the refunding order showed that three
and four per cent. bonds with a par
value of nearly SOS, 1000, 900 had been ex-
changed for two per cent. bonds of the
series of 1880. 1t is obvious that the
banks have participated in the refund
ing to an enormous extent because the
banks are sending the two per cents. to
Washington as collateral for their new
circulation.
Shaw Ia Pleased.
Secretary Shaw is delighted with the
outcome of his efforts to persuade the
national banks to expand their circula-
ton. He has accomplished more in this
respect than any of his predecessors.
He has convinced bankers, especially in
New York, that their salvation in
times of threatening tight money and
panic will be to be provided with ample
supplies of currency. Mr.. Shaw be-
lieves that, while the United States
treasury ought to extend a helpinp
hand to the commercial and financial
interests of the country in periods Of
distress and threatened disaster the
same interests should always take the
future into account and have an an.
Choir to windward.

One lone burglar created all
kinds of excitement in Logan
for a short time early this
morning. About 3 o'clock while
several citizens of that place
were on their way home they
found a burglar breaking into
the store of the j. w. Stocker
Company. One of the citizens
took a shot at him but his aim
was poor and the burglar es-
capped uninjured and eluded his
pursuers by running through
the park. Price and Sceavers
store in Logan was burglarized
during the night and it is
thought the work was done by
the same burglar.
