 Up at OnCe.

Toronto, Ont, Sept, Pl-A re- port is current in financial circles here that the dominion government is planning to complete It's financial program for the year by the issue of long term bonds in Canada. This report follows closely upon the an nouncement that the acting minister of finance was retiring $90,0o0, ,o00 of maturing short term obligations in New York by the issue of s7o,- 900. 900 of one-year notes.
 If the rumor is correct, 1t will mean that the dominion government has continued it's policy of placing its long term loans In Canada. In 1923, the refunding operation con- sisted entirely of 20-year and five year bonds, all of which were plac- ed here, while last year, the long term issue was made in Canada and the one-year notes were placed with a New York syndicate.
