TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 4, 1905

THERE is a persistent rumor in Wash
inV;op that the Rockefeller banks have
received a tip from the United States
Treasury that the government bonds that
mature next year are to be refunded.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record Herald gives detailed
account of how the Rockefeller banks
are to profit by this prior information
and saws Secretary Shaw "declines to
elucidate." After showing that the
National City Bank is advertising to pay
SI.OS2 so for 81 900 bond, he points
cut that while this sounds like fine
proposition, the National City Bank is
not 10 the habit of putting out its money
al less than per cent year, ana lha'
10 paying 1913 IA for the 1907 bonds, 1t
really would make profit OF only three
quarters Of per cent if il held them
with the expectation that they would be
redeemed at maturity, nearly year
from now. Secretary Shaw, 1t is de-
clared would scarcely retire the issue in
advance of maturity and pay premium
that would insure a profit above lOS IA.
Continuing the correspondent says:
As to selling the bonds to small
banks wanting them for the purpose OF
securing government deposits, it point
ed out that TO afford the National City
ADEQUATE returns on its investment, cost
Of advertising, ETC., said small banks
would have to pay premium that would
make their government deposits an ex
pensiye luxury, inssmuch as they would
expect TO have them redeemed within
less than a year at par. Therefore II
il sought TO cultivate the suspicion thai
the real purpose of the philanthrop,c
National City Bank is to gather In
$50 900, 600 or more Of the bonds, know
ipg they are to be exchanged shortly for
. per cents, and being in a position to
make very favorable terms with the
government when the refunding time
comes.
As this bank is the one that demanded
after ihe election of President Mckinley
that it SHOULD be given the inside track,
