AMERICAN RAILROAD SPECULATIONS
ABROAD,

Our foreign mails furnish detailed accounts
of the statements which the recent kilograms refer
ring TO American railroad bonds In foreign markets were
based The London Times Of the 9th in its money article
said:
The Frankfort advces state that at the Berlin Bourse,
on the sd nst the following communication from the
Aldermen Of the Merchants analogous 10 an Ehgnsh
Chamber Of COmmerce) was posted up: .
having knowge that yet larger exploration OF our
America and England by the sale Of unsoand
public thereby induced to put he community their guard
purchase American bonds and particularly Of American
Of the n States Notice the time To brokers
that they should abstain from dealing such bonds and that no quota
reported that the communication thus referred 10
came from the North German Consul at New-fork. A
OF the kind had been expected for some time,
hut would probably still have been delayed by the
tediOusness Of official fornates had it not been for the
attempt to bring the market si0o0oO09 OF Northern
Pacific Railway bonds. The ruInor of Honduras loan
accelerated the step The Frankfort BOurse, however,
has kept aoOf from such transactions and Is therefore
a sufferer by their breakdown American mortgage
bonds have become almost totally unstable, and only
small amounts have exchanged hands at further reduc
ton OF five per cent; none but those which have been
supported by promoters such the Californian Oregon,
Missouri, and Central Pacific, have maintained their
prices. -
The North German Consul in this city has denied that
he made communication referred to above.
The authority OF The Times doubtless that OF its
American correspondent On May 10 1t contained letter
from him at Philadelphia in which, after giving the
history Of the Northern Pacific Railway and the financial
operations which, he says contemplated by its pro-
mOters, he concludes:
II is duty, owing to foreign readers, to make this
statement At home loan like this based on such pros
poets find few investors; abroad where it dazzles
with high interest and gded promises, may find many.
