were opened ct ,"~ - before /
mept Saturday shorN, .9ted at

the department that hurried ca'cn- J
lation showed that the totsl Number
of separated bids was 291, aSgregat-
mo sl54,37O, 900. The largest hld
was the syndicate bid of the Inlted
States Trust company, Drexel, Nor
pan 4 Co. and others at $ll7.O|' Tor
the whole amount or none. This bid
was the best offered, as the aggregate
of bids above this figure are only
about SO, 324, 90, leaving about S3?'-
6-5S5O at a less figure. 1t therefore
seems quite probable that the syndl-
cate bid will be accepted, although
Secretary Carlisle stated he could not
axpress an opinion as the result until
TODAY. when the awards will be made
According to the terms OF this old 'he
government will pay 1913 per cent
interest on the $50, 600, 900 as against
3 per cent carried by the February
issue. There is a possibility, how
ever. that a close calculation VIII dlS
close the fact that there is sul1Iclen
e number of bids at d lower rate tha'
!. this. which, with the second syndl
J. cate bid at $ll6.SS9S, or 2.S99 pc
d cent, may make combination shghtI
more advantageous to the soVefnmen
than the other, although this Is yer
improbable. Altogether the result
