Surplus Dwindles as Bond Purchases Rise in Early 1890s

In Washington the Treasury shows a growing surplus despite bond purchases by the current administration. At week’s end the Treasury surplus reached 60.6 million dollars, with 20.7 million in fractional silver and 25.2 million on deposit with banks. Customs receipts surge then fall as the new tariff raises and lowers revenue. Windom may call for 4 1/4 per cent bonds to redeem notes maturing next September, while concerns rise over pension costs and potential treasury shortages later in the year.

Market dull with modest London buying and check certification debate

New York trading shows little feature of interest while London and heavy interests buy modestly. In Boston the talk centered on certification of checks over 1000 dollars, with Brown Riley Co advocating a flexible cap around 5000 dollars.
