work cannot be maintained for any great
length of time.
a most important feature of the task is the
counting of the bonds held by the government
as security for the circulation Of national
banks and as security for government money
deposited with the banks. These bonds occupy
a special vault in the treasury building and
they total something like three-quarters OF
billion dollars in value. committee OF seven
officials will count the bonds, and inasmuch
as great care is necessary in going over the
bonds, coupon and registered, il is expected
that at least two months will be necessary for
this task alone The last time a count of the
bonds was made six weeks was allowed for the
task, but Uncle Sam now has on hand so per
cent. more bonds than were in storage at that
time
The counting OF the coiu-gold silver nick

ernmen constitutes yet another branch of this
unique enterprise. In the case of the coin the
term counting must not be taken too literally,

In Hamburg the Rechsbank and five i'm.
portant banks use the Giro system. Represen
tativcs of these banks meet several times daily
at the Reichsbank where transactions between
their several customers are cleared. In Ham
burg very little material money is used in
effecting transactions, the habit being to settle
all obligations even of the most insignificant
character, by Cberweisungszettel. When pay
ments are to be made from one city to another
this is done usually through the Reichsbank
which has 500 branches, more or less. through
out the empire. All transactions are under
taken without cost to either payer or payee
and on the contrary deposits subject to this
modified form of checking usually draw one
per cent. interest per annun.
The advantages Of the Giro system fall
partly under the head of security and partly
of convenience. Danger from forgery is
eliminated, as the notification sent to a banker
by a payer could not by any possibility be
utilized advantageously by criminally dis.
posed persons. The only inconvenience OBJ

payments are not acknowledged on bills rem.
