The total amount of bonds on which application for tho payment of ad vance interest has been made is a little over $01,000,000. This is a much smaller offering than was ex pected, and secretary Fairchild thinks it is a sign of financial ease through out tho country. The secretar' of fered to advance six mouth's intercut on the entire bonded debt, including the bonds, of the Pacihc railroads, with a rebate at tho rate of 2 per cent, per annum. The applications received are from the holders of reg istered bonds. There are out standing in 4 and 4 per cents, nearly S9SS.000.000, of which only $158,000,000 are coupon. The amount of advance interest included in the secretary's offer is over S22, 000.000. yet the sum applied for is less than S3.000.000. The secretary's offer stands until January 1 next, but it is considered doubtful whether individual holders will ask for tho advance interest with a rebate. Three mouths' interest on the 4s will bo due September 1. On October 1 the quarterly interest will bo payable on the 4s. Activity in business may induce applications for an advance on the December and January interest, as money could thus be obtained from the treasury at a very small discount.
