day
Shaw to Follow Gage'a Linea.
New York. Feb. 1 There la a good
deal or speculation In financial clr
clea as to what Mr. Shaw, who as
Vumes the treasury portfolio today,
will do. or under the law can do diff
erent from the policy pursued by Sec
i rotary Oage. Few of the experienced
financiers believe Mr Shaw will stop
the bond punhaaes instituted by Mr.
i Oage. which now foot up ttfii.nn'p.ooO.
Although the daily purchases have
I been amall of late. It la not thought
that Mr Shaw will Increase the price
fixed by Mr. Oage simply to stimulate
I the offer of bonds Nor la It believed
i that he will materially increase gov
ernment deposits In national bank do
poaltoriea. li is only by some of
these exM-dlents Hint the treasury de
pint men i Ml In any way help the
money market. 8o from what can bi
learned hi re of Mr Shaw's policy it
is thought that It will follow In the
Identical Hues pursued by Mr. fiagc
