Yield Of Federal Bonds
Near Lowest Point
Ey the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
The Treasury announced yester-
clay that yields on long-term Gov
eminent bonds were near the low
est point in history.
Experts calculated that the Weld
on Government bonds not due or
callable for II years averaged 2.48
per cent in October The only times
that lower yields occurred were in
January and February, 1887, when
the averages were PAT and 2.46.
The low yields reflected, experts
said, the great demand of banks
and other investors for Government
bonds. This demand resulted, they
said, from lack of other suitable
investments and from huge in
creases in idle money available for
investment.
The yield, which is the financial
term for the earning of a security
based on both the interest rate
and the price. has been going down
almost steadily since January, 1882,
when the average was 426 per cent.

Few Changes in Pay
Shown in Federal
Official Register
More Than 9, 900 Positions
Listed; One Addition to
White House Stuff

Showing few changes in pay rates,
either up or down, in the past year,
the Official Register of the United
States for 1898 was issued yesterday.
The Register lists more than 5000
administrative and supervisory posi-
tons, with their incumbents, in the
legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the Government; rank
ing District government personnel,
and also carries pay tables for the
armed services.
The current Register shows about
800 more positions in the executive
agencies than were reported in 1887,
but in many instances it is apparent
that these are not new posts, but
rather those previously omitted from
the tabulation.
One addition was made to the
White House staff-an executive Of
flcer at $6500-but the salary of
chief usher is now reported at $1,000
instead of $4,000 previously paid.
incidentally, the team of Corcoran
md Cohen which is reported to have
been putting in some vigorous ticks
for the White House in the last year,
is still in business at the same old
rates: Thomas G. Corcoran, special
counsel, Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, $4,000, and Benjamin
V. Cohen, general counsel. National
Power Policy Committee, Public
Works Administration, $4,000.
President Roosevelt, naturally. is
top man on the payroll at $4,000.
and Chief Justice Hughes comes
next with $500, which is $500 more
than the pay of the rest of his as
sociates. Vice President Garner, the
cabinet officers and Controller of
the Currency Preston Delano rate
$4,000. Members of the Federal
Communications and Maritime Com
missions are in the $4,000 bracket,
and the Tariff Commission, s11 900.
Other commissions generally are on
$4,000 basis, except the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, where the figure is
$500.
