u S. Retires Great Sun,
In Liberties and Notes

Figures just given out by the Treasury Department show
that $2599,870250 in Liberty bonds and Victory notes
have been retired since the original issues.
Of this amount 1887 900 consisted Of Victory notes.
pr about 20 per cent of the original issue.
About $25O000O0O0 Of the Victories were originally
bought by banks, leaving only about in the
hands of the public is known that banks have added
to their investments in Government securities in the past
year, and taking into consideration the heavy purchases
by the Treasury it is doubtful whether the public holds
more than 81 ,000,0O0,OO0.
This may make the task Of refundng this issue easier
than if it largely in the hands of the public Bankers
will probably not to reduce their holdings of Govern
ment securities very largely They already have much idle
money and will not to increase it.
The Fourth Liberty is the largest issue of Liberty bonds
and the amount retired is large OOO which is in
degree responsible for the advancing quotations for
this ISSUE The elementary for the advance how
ever, is not buying by the Treasury Department Easy
money at present and easier money in prospect explains
strength in these Issues This statement is substanated
by action of the First 3a which have moved upward
with the rest of the list although not quite rapidly al
though only $3 900 of the issue has been retired
Reductions in all issues mentioned amount to about II
per cent of original total.
In view OF the many currents affecting national
finance bankers say volume of reduction in the future
highly uncertain.
An limitation agreement by the powers assembled
at Washington might permit more rapid reduction. But
it is admitted that saving in this direction may result
in money being spent other things just wasefu

soldiers bonus BILL which, if passed, will greatly add to
