MILD sensation shortly before the close OF
business to-day by the announcement Of
tue formation OF syndicate 10 take any
part OF the proposed Government loan ia At
might not be subscribed for al Secretary
Carlsle's upset price This change OF
front by the New York hnanciers, who
Yesterday were by no means ardent IN
lheir reception or the Secretary OF the
Ireasury's plan, is in part accounted
Tor IN the fact that upon reflection the
banking element concluded that the failure
OF the loan would affect the credit OF the
United States abroad, which would have
tue erect OF inspiring lack OF confidence
Ia the foreign holders OF all species OF
American securities, with the result OF
| creating situation inimical TO the hnan-
clai interests OF Wall street and the
country at large Then, too,
IL was possibly taken into consideration
that by forming a syndicate to take the
bonds at no advance on the upset price The
competition was lessened and the necessity
Tor paying premium on the upset price
was removed, thus increasing the
| margin OF profit TO be gained by
syndicate Subscribers. The announce.
ment OF the formation OF the
syndicate did not reach the Exchange until
Just before tho close of business but il
materially strengthened the final dealings
