Bond Calle HOLDERS CONSENTING TO LET THEIR BONDS CON- TINUE AT 33g PER CENT. INTEREST—THE SAME COURSE TO BE PURSUED WITH THE FIVES, ‘Several national banks, holders of the six per cent bonds called by Secretary Windom yester- day afternoon, have informed him to-day that they will not present their bonds for redemp- tion, but will aliow them to continue, accepting the rate of 33; per cent interest offered tuem. It will cost but very little to issue registered bonds in place of the sixes to those wiio elect to continue at 3% per cent. The registered bonds will be printed from the same plate that the original bonds were worked off. ‘The only change in the bond will be the stamping on the back the condition under which tt 13 issued. The bureau of engraving and printtng has been ordered to prepare bends in conformity with Plan of the department. If the exchange of 354 Per cent registered certiticates for the called Sixes Works satistactorily—and there Is every todication that it will—the ‘Treasury depart- ment will deal with the maturing fives In the same way. Thus, if all the holders of calted sixes choose to retain their bonds at 3%; per cept Interest, the Secretary of the Treasury will call a like amount of five per cents. He will be thus fortified in case the holders of tives should refuse the option offered them. Bat everything practical points to their acceptance of the terms of Continuance. Then the department can go on calling the fives. By this means THE WHOLE OF THE MATURI PRACTICALLY REFUNDED. Into 3%¢ per cents without the passage of a re. funding bill, and {fsuccesstul 1b wonld be mu More economical for the government than the placing of a new bond, whieh would carry with it the expense of new plates and the commits- sion paid for the placing of anew loan. An- Other point in favorot the Treasury's schem : 4g the fact that the reduction of the rate of in- terest does not catry with it any speetiied time for which the rate of per cent will be paid; a8 the revenues of the Treasury permit,the Sec- retary Can pay off at will any of the bonds. In the case of a new loan, a certain time that it should run would have to be Specified in issuing the bonds. Be- fore oe the important step that he has, Secretary Windom recelved assurances from tie largest holders of the maturing bonds that they were perfectly willing to retain them at the Suton por cent, ‘These assurances had great weight i shaping the policy to be ing sued. The prediction is freeiy made that ha. fore Congress meets tu December the $71 000 Of sixes and flves, with but little ulon from the full amount, wii ha practicaily refunded by the me: Indicated, and that there will be no absolute neces: the passage of a reiunding bill, ‘Tae raf Interest—3}< per cent—tixed by Secreta: dom is the Same that the republicans gress favored when the vetoed r Was under consideration.

It ts belfeved at the Treasury that the surplus revenues will be sufficient to pay off all the holders of the called sixes who may retuse the terms offered. .
