Successful Negotiation OF the
Capitol Loan.

The hundred thousand dollar Capitol
loan was yesterday taken at handsome
premiums, ranging from lOl! to lOll' 1t
was awarded to four principal parties, as
follows;
John ]. Brown, OF Morgontown, 100000,
at lOl9,
Exchange Bank, OF Wheeling, S6O'OOO'
at lOl ll-2O.
Bank OF Wheeling, $4,000 at lOls,
Kingwood Preston county National
Bank $4,000 at lOl!
Upwards OF 100000 was bid for. The
First National Bank--(now Bank of the
Ohio Valley bid for $4,000 at lOl. The
Bank Wheeling bid for the whole loan
SlOO,0OO-at the same figure. Stone y
Thomas bid for 100000 at lO1 ll.9O and
100000 at 1Ol 7-9O, 1t is understood
that the 100000 taken by the Ex.
change Bank was for Stone 4 Thomas.
So successful has been the negotiation
of this loan that II is now thought by
some parties that the whole amount could
have been placed at instead Of I! per
cent. That il, that per cent loan
would have commanded par. The par
ties taking this loan will not make a
large interest on their Investment this
year after paying accrued interest since
July lat, and the premium and taxes,
counting the two latter as /! per cent
each.
The whole of the proceeds Of this loan
goes on deposit, on interest, at the EX-
change Bank, to be paid out na the work
progresses on the Capitol building. The
contract does not cail for the completion OF
the building before July lst, 1876, and it
may therefore be nearly year before all
the money is paid ont, especially MS 20
per cent Of the contract price is retained
until after the completion Of the build
ing. Onc.tenth Of the loan Is to be
redeemed by the city each year, COM
mencing with $4,000 on July lst, 1876
The success Of this loan shows two
things-lirst, that the credit Of the city is
excellent, and, second, that there Ia n
large amount Of surplus money lying
around loose these times that the people
are anxious toinvestin good securities at
q comparatively low rate Of interest.
