WHERE ARE THE BONTS? Millions of Dollars in the Treasury Awaiting Claimants. [From Tlw .'ribune Bureau.) Washington. Nov. 28— In spite of the supposed tl»htncss of money and laok of cash throughout the country, there pro millions of dollars waiting In the Treasury vaults for claimants. These claim ants l;avn merely to appear in person or send the proper documents to reoeivo the money. According to Uw last monthly report of the divi sion of loans of the Treasury there was no less than 5&22&95Q awaiting the pleasure of holders <«f bonds which matured on the first of last July. ffcetx bond ceased to bear Interest at that time. and i here i.< nothing to be gained by the holders etin&ing to them. The total issue called in by the Secretary of the Treasury under a circular, dated April -. was $^6,121,450. The bonds ara Known in the department as the << 1907 4<=." and are held by owners sll over the. world. It is supposed that the irr»at majority of them will come In for redemption some rime, but it may be generations before the big pile of MMM is reduced below the 1100,000 nisrk. Some of the bonds will never come in. for they irin b< lost or destroyed, and the rightful own ers, either tliroush igriorant-r or other causes, will not set on foot the proper measures to recover their mon^y. Half a hundred years from now there may pa HSA.6O or (300,000 si ill unaccounted for. and the venerable clfiks in the department will stroke their snowy mustaches as th'-y speculate over the mystery of the lost bonds. Of the funded loan of MM. due for redemption In 19-W. there is $32,00f> Mill unpaid and unaccounted for, and of the 5 i.<r ■■.' bonds called in by the Treasury in Febru ary. 1904, $^,*OO has nor yet appeared. "It is safe to my that the greater proportion of the binds frill show up in lime, but you and I will fc» gone before the account is Fettled." paid C. N. >'-■,- irty, chief of the loan division. "Not nearly ks many of these bonds will bo lost as you might suppose. As a rule the owners are persons of tn«a!is who purchase them for Investment, and even aft*r the Interest on them ceases continue to ■old them for various reasons. Perhaps they aro not in need of money at present and will wait until th*y run across a good Investment before they Convert :iie bonds into cash. Perhaps, again, they have been in thr habit of collecting th*> Interest on the bonds at long intervals, once in fix mc>nths or a year, and have not yet pone over the papers In th*lr safety deposit Ix.xes. and do not really know liiat th<* lionds have ceased to draw interest. Wfcen th*y finally wake up to the fact that these bonds have quit bringing in a steady Income th,ey • ill write to the Treasury asking why the interest has stopped. The Secretary will inform them of the facts In the case, will quote the April circu lar, and In due time will receive the bonds for re demption. Another very frequent cause of the lenMswary disappearance of bonds is brought about by th»* Heath of th<» owners and their estates going Into the hands of executors. Until the courts or der the executors to wind up the affairs of the de cedents the bonds they are holding must remain In their custody. Of course, at rare intervals we hear of the toss of bonds by accident. A mail train may be smashed up and the envelopes carrying them from person to person may be lost in the debris. A steamer bearing the owner may go down and the bonds be lost with his belongings or his person. Thieves may steal them, with other valu fibles. and throw them away when they find they rannot convert them into ready cash without run- Bankers ami Brokers. The stock market now affords exceptional opportunities for the purchase of high class railroad and industrial shares. At present level of prices a return of from 5 to 8 per cent can be obtained on conservative investments. Correspondence invited. SCHMiOT & GALLATIN, Members New York Stock Exchange; 111 Broadway, N.

In such instances as these the original owners or their legal heirs may always recover the face value of the lost bonds and whatever interest is due them by making proper Application and oath to the Treasury De partment, accompanied by an indemnity bond of •*vi~e tho amount Involved. "Once in a while we run across some grewsorne relics in the bonds sent in for redemption. A few months ago we received a package of bonds from the West that hud been fished from a river with the remains or their dead owner. The owner's body had boen in the water for months and was scarcely recognizable and the bonds were scarcely more than a mass of horrible smelling pulp. They ha.l to be examined, however, and passed upon, but before they could be handled they were sent to one of the chemists in the department, who fumigated and disinfected them thoroughly. Even after the heirs of the dead man had received their money the bonds had to be kv[.t in the vaults 01 the divi sion us all bonds called in are carefully preserved for future reference— this particular package was sealed In an airtight Jacket and put away with the rost. Once In a while we get a number of bonds that have been taken from the clothing of a yellow feyor or typhus patient, and we have to do more fumigating and disinfecting before the clerks are allowed to handle them. "All bonds Bent in for collection are recorded very carefully, and fifty years hence you might come here and find out through whose hands they passed from the time they were issued until they were returned for conversion into cash. in law suits over the division of estates the department I* frequently called upon to give the history of a bond. The court may wish to know Just who had it at such and such a time in order to determine the rfchts of certain heirs. The records are here and may always be obtained., "At rare Intervals the department is in receipt of the remains of bonds that have been chewed up by rats or chopped into hits by machinery. If they are unrecognizable their owners must give the Sec retary a bond before they recover, Just as they would have, to do were the bonds lost altogether." The Tribune printed on July M the fact that there is an old account of «Uls 25 which is held to the credit of claimants who may never appear with the bonds that were called in years ago. Add to that tidy sum the five and one-third odd millions of the 1807 fours and you have a little nest egg that even hungry Wall Street would not despise The non-appearance of the owners of this amount ought to serve as an argument for the good times advocate. It is Impossible to believe that many of the bonds wore lost, ar.d the only explanation in that the owners are In no hurry to collect th« money they may have for the asking. THE FINANCIAL MARKETS.
