the $1,605,050 of bonds of the state
of Pennsylvania called for redemption
on February 1 are outstanding and it
Is probable that the remainder will
be presented for payment within a
short time. The cancellation of the
state debt preceded in February at a
rate beyond the expectations of State
Treasurer C. F. Wright and steps to
obtain the bonds yet unredeemed may
be taken soon.
The bonds falling due on February
l were of the issue of 1882 amounting
to $1,076,S00 of 4 per cent and $685.
$50 of 31a per cent, the rest of the
issue having been bought in from time
to time. During the month just closed
the state redeemed $1,001, 800 of the
fours and S527, 200 of the others, leav.
ing only about $500 worth of S1a per
cent unpaid.
The state has the funds in hand to
pay off all of the remainder of the
issue and also to more than meet all
other evidences of debt on most of
which interest ceased long ago. In
a short time the sinking fund will be
100000 ahead of the debt remaining
unpaid.
