to fall considerably short of the $500,- 900 that might have been paid under this order had no interest been antici- pated.
 Under the previous efforts of the treasury to redeem these four per per cent. bonds, some holders have been reluctant to part with them be- cause of the expectation that the gov ernrlent will open the refunding opera tions at the tome of their maturity. In view of the fact that there is now a large surplus in the treasury and more than $140O00,000 in the depository banks it is apparent that the government could redeem these four per cent. bonds at maturity if it so desired by paying them off in cash and without the necessity of resorting to refunding at all.
 This fact may induce holders of the bonds to present tGaem now to the treas ury for redemption at the prices of fered.
 Following Is the secretary's circular regarding the redemption of per cent, bonds of the funded loan of 1907:
 In accordance with the provisions of existing law, the secretary of the treasury hereby gives public notice that he will redeem at any time after this date, upon presentation, the registered and coupon bonds Of the 4 per cent. funded loan of 1907,tto an amount not exceeding $25,0OO,OOO, and will pay in- terest to July l, 1907, upon the bonds so presented.
 Bonds intended for redemption pn- , der this circular should be forwarded to the secretary of the treasury, divi- sion of loans ana currency.
 Registered bonds must be duly as- signed to the secretary of the treasury for redemption, the assignments being dated and witnessed by one of the offi- cers indicated in the note printed on the back of each bond; and where pay ment Is desired in the name of any person other than the payee of such bonds the assignment must be to the secretary of the treasury for redemp- tion for account of - (here insert tie name of the person in whose facor redemption is desired)'

FURTHER GOVERNMENT
 RELIEF TO SITUATION
Continued from First Page.)

Portland, Me, and approximately 100 others, will be directly benefited. It is expected that banks in the cities nam ed, which are already Repositories for government funds will now receive the customs eirculations in the same man. ner that internal revenue and miscel- laneous receipts have hitherto been de- posted with them. The advantages, however, that will accrue in eonse- quence of this authorization will be comparatively small, in view of the fact that the receipts from customs in 1906, in all cities of the United States outside of New York was only about thirty per cent of the whole about seventy per cent being collected in the city of New York, which will not be benefited under the new arrangement.
 That portion of the secretary's an- nouncement which relates to the re- demption of the four per cent. bonds of 1907 at price equal to the principal and interest to maturity is the meas uro intended by the secretary as the principal source of relief to the money market Under this announcement, holders of the fours of 1907 will receive immediately upon presentation of the bonds to the treasury department the full face value and two per cent. ad- ditional, being the interest for one-half year, from January 10, to July 1, 19O7
 In many instances, however holders of this bond have ayailed themselves of the privilege which was given them by Secretary Shaw to anticipate the interest due January 1, and April 1, 1907, so that the interest item is likely

The railroads are anxious to get the
