Wasuinatoy, D, C,, March 24—There has Deon a great deal of speculutton as to what emirse the Secretary af the ‘Treasury will take to provide for the payment of the bonds which become redeempble in May and Jnly, Jn ease att extra session of Congress Is not ehlled fer the purpose af passing a Funding bit, Upon this subject tho oflleers of the ‘Treasury Department and the Seuntors who would be most likely to be consulted have been extremely reticent, and no statement regarding the various plans considered hing been authorized, Within tho past tWenty-four hours, however, Tle mor has been fn circulation — to the elfect that the Secretary of tho Treasury has, ninong other projects, vonsidered thatol using money In the Treasury to buy, beforo the Ist of next Deeember, $150,000,000 of 6 per cent bonds, Jt has also been asserted that this plan embfaces tho Iden that tt will he HAGTICADIAi TO AVUID THE NECESSITY of Issuing tho $104,000,000 of 4+ per centbonils, ‘There is suine season to believe that a project: Mke that xbove outlined has-been taken into consideration, but nothing is known regarding the probability that It will Bo adopted, In tho statement of Habllitles and assets of the 'freasury, Issiied on the Ist Inst., there were embraced certain items not belonging to the ‘Treasurer's general, account, and amounting on that day to about $33,000,000. ‘This amouut was considerably iarger than the usual Hae bility on account of the Several Items, be- enuse the fund for tho redemption of notes of National banks falled, I Hquidation, and yeducing circulation had been suddenly swelled front about $20,000,000 to nearly $i! 000,000 by the retirement of bank elrewla- tlon on account of the threat contained in the fifth section of the Funding bill, AMONG THE OTHER [TEMS “minking up the $&3,020,000 mentioned were the following: Post-Offico Depart ent necount, 92,4,027; disbursing officers’ balances, $18,- 0,122; undestribured assets of failed Na- Honal banks, $470,507: 6 per cent fund for the redemption of National-bank notes, St4,- Osst24; ‘Treasurer's transfer checks an (lrafts outstanding, $9,271,510, A half dozen smaller items were also included in the $383,000,000, It has always been the prac- thee of the Treasury to keep on hand 1u0 per cent of these Habilltles, nll of which are subject to payment on demand, but thore fs no Jaw requiring this to be done, and an examination of the monthly state iments show that the balaiuces on account of the several items which inake up this class of Mabilitles: HAVE NOT FALLEN TWELOW 805,000,000 at any tine during the last thirteen months, It ls reported ta have been suggested to the ind of Seerctary Windom, therefore, that there 1s no uced of keeping In the ‘Treasury constantly enougimoney to pay all these Ia- bilities, but that a reserveof 40 per percent (the sane ainount held agalnst outstanding green 1 backs) would be stifticient to meet all prob- able current demands upon the ‘Treasury on account of the abilities mentioned. If this suggestion should bo adopted and the month- Jy or daily balance of these various accounts: ha Secretary would be able to obtain from this source $89,000,000 with which to buy 6 per cents, Included in the Treasurer’s genoral account are Items mounting to nbout 812,000,000 which also preserve a nearly uniform bal- ance, and against which It has also been the practice of the ‘Treasury to hold a reserve of 100 per cent. 5 tf 40 PER CENT reserve should be considered sufiictent to invet ail probable current demands upon this balance, the Secretary might derive from this source an additional sim of $7,000,000 With which to purchase § per cents, ‘This would make $45,000,000, n ofiicer of the ‘Treasury sald to-day that, at a Hberal esti- inte, the surplus revenues from this time to December will amount to $9,000,000 n manth, or $i, In the ming months. This sum, added to that before, mentioned, would make An nunc! ates of $118,000,000 which would be avaliable for the purchase ot bonds. This would leave $82,000,000 of the $250,000,000 first mentioned unprovided for, Secretary Sherman always insisted very: strenuously that, to imalntain confidence ti restunptlon, a reserve equal to 40 per cent of the outstanding lemabtenders should be kept oe in the Treasury ig requires $138,400,000, for the Inst thirteen The monthly “batar nionths hus always exceeded $140,000,000, and has soinctimes exceeded $150,000,000, On the 1st inst. It was a Tittle more than $158,000,000, or ABOUT $20,000,000 stone than the required specie reserve. But this balance is very fluctuating, and contd not be depended upon greatly to Increase the fund upon which the Secretary of the ‘Treas- ury could draw for the purelace of bonds, wuless, Jndeed, he should think it prudent to reduce that fund lower than Mr. Sherman ever deemed advisable, GRANT.
