and the Balance Divided.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Stewart syn
dictate, which purchased the entire sec
ond issue of s5O,OOoOOo. for which they
paid S5S53S. 500, and accrued interest, have
so far received only 100000 of bonds
The rest are ready for delivery, but have
not yet been called for The bonds draw
interest from the date of issue whether
delivered or not and the treasury bears
the expense of the first delivery to the
purchasing party.
The banking firm in charge of the gov
eminent bond syndicate has sent out the
following notice to members:
The action of the United States treas
ury on currency questions having stopped
progress in the sale of bonds for the ac-
count of the five per cent bond syndicate,
and the period of 30 days mentioned in the
notice of Nov. ?. having expired, the syn
dictate is dissolved
The agitation about currency reform
and the number of suggestions made by
government officials and members of con-
gress, it is said, has weakened the mar
ket for government bonds generally and
the price for the new fives has in conse-
quence been depressed below the syndicate
figures. The syndicate disposed of So per
cent. of the issue and the remaining 65
per cent. was divided among the members.
Vice President Garland of the First Ma
tiOnal Bank this morning confirmed the
news that the bond syndicate had been
dissolved.
1T has been dissolved to-day by mutual
consent" said Mr.. Garland. THE par
ties to the agreement having only agreed
to hold the bonds for month The ques-
ton Of continuing the syndicate was not
even considered. The dissolving of the
syndicate will not cause any break in the
price. The break has already come.
There will not be any further change in
the price.
In dissolving the syndicate the parties
to it took into consideration the unsettle-
ment of the market for bonds, due to the
offering to congress Of the currency plan
of Secretary Carlisle which, by its pro-
visions, would have compelled the national
banks to dispose of at least 900 in
bonds on or before July 1, 1895. With such
a possible block of bonds to come on the
market. the question OF continuing the
agreement to hold the bonds was not even
thought Of"
Mr. Garland said that the amount of
bonds which the syndicate intended to dis
pose of to the public, and which were still
unsold, aggregated about $50 100000.
