NO TREASURY PURCHASE

OF bonds could be effected to-day the reason that
the offerings were above the limit ut which the
Secretary may buy, viz.-par In gold. The amount
advertised for was one million and the tenders
were $i,2e2, 900 at 1927 1925. Although gold
was 11262l ut noon, 1t had fallen to 1925 almost
before the reading Of the tenders had been finished
The facts being telegraphed to Washington the
price Of gold was taken to be 112k, which limita-
ton prevented the acceptance Of any OF the bonds
oered. In view OF this result there is much specu-
lati0n this evening as to whether the usual gold
sale Will be held tomorrow. as its consummation
would go to help undo the recent relief OF the
money market.
GOVERNMENTS LOWER.
The government bond market presented the
anomaly OF declining prices all day, despite
the inability OF the Treasury to buy bonds
and despite the success OF the admin
istratiOn party iu Pennsylvania, the expla-
nation being the decline In gold, with which
our securities sympathize more closely every day.
Wore the bonds quoted In gold they would show, of
course, q sharp advance, for prices of the five.
twenties at the close are as nearly as may be on
level with the gold quotation, while few days
since they were far below that standard. on the

to per cent, the last dealings toward three O'Clock

per cent comparing this evenings with Tuesdays
closing quotation. At first there was little reac-
tion from the opening quotation, 1921, recovery
to 113h representing the doubt In some minds
that the kilograms OF last night in the early
editions OF the papers this morning might not
be conclusive. This notion was got bravely over
within brief space OF time, and OF the price went
again with a series OF fevered fluctuations until 1t
closed at 11214 The Sub-Treasury paid out s22 900

shortest lived parent.
But there is another fact still
more surprising, pretty nearly ~
