IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSR.l
W,sUIVGroN. May IA report sent from Wash
inotoo last night 10 the effect that Mr. Conant, now
in London. had tcygrJphri to the Secretary Of the
Treasury unflvorable information in regard to the
bu,iness of the Syndicate and had assured HIM that
There will be scriOns difficulty in diSposlug OF the
10 pcr cent bonds now the market, on account OF
tb, war in Europe, Is wholly without foundation.
The sale of United states securities has been less
interfrred with by the outbreak OF the kuss0-
Turkish war than that of the bonds of any other
nation IL Is fact indeed that during the last few
weeks the fluctuations in the market price Of
limited States l2 per cent bonds have been less ;han
that of any other government securities sold IN the
London market. These bonds have not varied one
pcr cent in price, while English consols and the
bonds of all other European countries have been
depressed from two to iour, five and even greater
per cent.
From information in possession OF the Secretary
of the Treasury it appears that majority OF the y
per cent bonds now being disposed of by tne syndi-
cate are taken in this country. The greater part of
the called q per cent bonds are he Id IN Europe. The
result therefore is that per cent bonds shipped
to the United States much more rapidly than li2
per cents are shipped To London. This has caused
a slight movement in gold, and explains the recent
shipments Of specie to Europe. THIS movement IL
considered by the secretary of the Treasury ~ a
favorable one for this country II has always been
the desire of the Government TO induce its own peo
pe TO invest their surplus capital in its securities,
aud the facts above noted indicate greater dispo-
