The bidding for the New Funded
Loan.

Promptly at II O'Clock, yesterday, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury opened the proposals for
subscription to the new five per cent. funded
loan, Sis 900 Co., in presence Of the two assist
ant secretaries and Mr.. Bigelow, chief of the
loan branch OF the department. A large num-
Der OF bids were received; a number being sent
by telegraph, the two per cent. forfeit being
deposited in New York with the sub-treasurer
The opening of the bids was conducted with the
strictest secrecy. OF the firm bids received,
aggregating proposals for seventy-six million,
bids for twenty million are understood TO be
rom American bankers and investors. The
bank of California subscribed one million; the
state of New York three million; and probably
ten or twelve million is bid for New York fidu-
ciary agents and trustees. Some bankers that
had called skies on deposit in this city bid for
exchange. Nothing is given out as to the names
of the bidders, but IL is rumored that Messrs.
Won Hoffman subscribe five million; while it is
asserted that Seligman, the German-A merican
banker, has bid for twenty-five million, and the
conditional proposition to take the balance left
within six months. Fisk & Hatch, it is under
stood, bid several million; while Norton Bliss
< Co., and Drexel, Morgan & Co. also contem-
plated submitting additional bids for the whole
Representatives OF both houses were in the city
yesterday. If the Secretary could sell the bonds
direct for gold large amount would be worked
Off, and among small investors. Many applica-
tons for the direct purchase at par, the pur-
chaser TO pay the gold and take the bonds at
once, were made. TO these applications the
Secretary has replied that under existing law
he Is not authorized to make such sales, for the
reason that he is forbidden by the Funding act
to iRcrease the bonded debt, and he cannot call
in the six per cent. bonds without giving three
months notice. 1t is presumed the proffers of
direct purchases received amounted to several
million. Philadelphia sends bid amounting
to two million. 1t is believed that IL fifty mill
lion is disposed Of at home the Secretary will do
well. German, French, and Holland investors
stand ready to take the balance-the first being
especially anxious.
