While rates on call money have been
soaring, and the situation in financial

concern treasury officials point with
satisfaction to the reduction of gov

the nations debt fell to $.s.210, 905. 900
or net reduction of $685., 900, 900 from
its highest mark at the end of AN
gust.
The reduction in the countrys debt
resulted largely from the increase in
treasury receipts through the sales OF
war materials. Decrease in current ex-
penditures also aided materially.
The new series of indebtedness Ger.
