Bonds Of the Metropolis of Delaware.
City Treasurer Adams has received
from London banking firm a communi
cation relative to the city loan. 1t says
You are probably aware that owing
to the continuance of the low rate Of
interest here, and In Europe generally,
a strong demand still exists for first
class investment bonds, ard until there
is q material alteration in the money
market this demand Is likely TO con-
tinue This bsing the case. and assum
Ing that your municipality may be
thinking Of taking advantage of the
present opportunity to readjust It's loans
on lower basis Of interest and thus
secure the benefit Of the present demand
for such investments, we address you for
the purpose of suggesting that by
making the issue simultaneously here
and la America, not only will you obtain
the most favorable bids possible, but you
will also be enabled to extend the mar
ket for your bonds This is distinct
advantage. both to the buyer and the
seller, especially in the event of your
wishing TO make a further issue Of
bonds in the future If the above
commends itself to you, we shall be
glad to hear from you with a view to
representing your interests In London,
and In making the issue here for you, or
otherwise assisting you in the matter +"
Mr.. Adams says that there Is no
movement on foot to refund the city
debt la short time q loan will have
to be hoated for Street and Sewer De.
partment purpose, under an act recently
passed. but this bonds win not be put
