The wolf has been proving and SINK

outlook is for a less troubled year froln
July l on, than the Treasury has been
experiencing through the current fiscal
period, and, in fact, for considerable
time longer than that.
When the fiscal year begins, the GOV

$3.50 600, which the Treasury has now.

The Treasury has collected about

AS against this, considerable will have

The outlook for the sale of the canal
bonds is so excellent as to be hlghiy
encouraging to the Treasury. Bids will
be opened at 4 o'clock next Saturday.
The loan will be heavily oversubscribed.
About 800 letters have been received by
the department, and it is supposed they
contain bids. The outcome will be j
real test of Government credit since the
bonds will not be available for the cir
culatfon privilege.
Indications are the whole issue will
be sold at not less than 102, and per-
haps at a good deal more than that:
Comparison with the rates of sale OF
foreign bonds shows that If this can
be done, the credit of this Government
will be much superior to that of such
governments as the English, the French
and the German, the strongest govern
