says, their term Of ono year did not
allow for any considerable premium

While the awards Of two per cent
bonds were made primary to the

the effect Of the awards was to dis
tribute the bonds among banks In 40
Of the 46 states Of the union. The

Concerning the distribution Of pub
lie moneys in banks throughout the
country, the secretary says that this
has been done without regard to par
tisanship, and ne section has received
other than the fair and impartial con-
sideration to which 1t Is entitlued.
1t is shown that the amount Of pub
lie deposits on August 90 was about
$4,000, 900. Of which the New York
banks held $685. 1886. On Deem
Der / the figures show public de-
posits throughout the country amount
ing to $222,353,2 52. In connection with
this statement the report says:
while the banks Of the state Of
New York appear as holders Of public
moneys to the amount Of 1886 per
cent of their capital and surplus, the
banks Of the New England, eastern
and middle western states taken as a
whole and including New York, show
a percentage OF only a little more than
15 per cent. The banks Of the south
ern, western and Pacific states on the
whole show a proportion Of nearly 18
per cent"
After discussing at length the policy
the government should adopt in re-
gard to the paying Of an obligation,
the report hints in a general way at
a possible treasury deficit at the close
OF the current year, the collections
for the six months ended December
81, 1907, showing a decrease in GUS
toms receipts Of $s,838,000 and inter-
nal revenue receipts Of $~5,220,000,
with the probability that receipts dur
ing the remainder Of the year will still
further decline.
On the subject of remedial legisla-
ton the secretary says that in every
measure of relief the treasury has
taken he has felt that he was bound
under existing fiscal and monetary
system TO have regard, not simply to
the operation Of the treasury, but to
the effect on the finances OF the coun-
try.
