It hae been the cnstom of the treasury in tho intervening months not to includs this acorn- ing intervet in the liabilities, becauss not due. Jordan desires to treat thix us a current hiability, which would have ihe effect of re- ducirg the available cash in the treasury over $8 000,000, In short his rystem would reduce the apparent cash balance $38,000 000, o that according t» his theory tha cash balance March 1 was ony $114,000,000 instead of $132,000,000, 8 :tated, and subtracting the resurve of $100 000,000 considered neces- ary for eafety, only $14,000,000 is left availa- ble, Jordan 180t figuring #o closely on the ocherside, For instunce chere is an item of $7,00 ,00) set down againat the outstanding fr.ctional currenoy which his long since gone to rags and will never have to be redeemed, in the column of debt on which interest has censed. at least $1,000,000 might be wiped out.
