UNITED STATES BONDS.
One and Quarter Million OF the Four
and One-HnIf Per Cent. BOnds Placed
DaiIy-A Brisk Demand I'm the West.

New YORK, May THE Tribune
says the sale of four and a half bonds
by the syndicate is now averaging
81, $50, 900 day. 1t is stated by men,
bers of the syndicate that the demand
from all parts of the country, especially
in the west, for this issue of govern
ment bonds for investment Is so great
that 1t is difficult to keep a supply on
hand to meet II. Last Thursday the
June option of five million dollars
was issued and it is stated that nearly
the entire amount has been disposed
of. Yesterday the syndicate subscribed
for an additional five million in antici-
patton of the option for July, making
forty millions already called for under
the contract OF April 18th, for fifty
million dollars. A member of the syn
dicate said yesterday that with the
present average Of daily sales Of over
one million dollars it would become
necessary to call for another FIVE mil
lion before the close of the present
week, which would anticipate the
August option sale of the entire fifty
million dollars before July was assur-
ed. Chicago was drawing largely on
the syndicate for four and one-half per
cent. and brisk demand came from
st. Louis, Cincinnatian other western
cities. The heavy sales of four and
one-half per cent. bonds did not inter.
fere with the popular loan CT four per
cent and Chicago was ordering the
latter from New York in preference to
patronizing the sub.treasury at that
city, thus saving from three to four
days in the delivery of the bonds. 1t
is estimated that the United States
bonds OF all issues yesterday aggregated
81, 25O, 600. of which nearly 81 300, 600
we're four and one half per cent, and
1858, 900 four per cent.
