The Stack ExohAnRa.
New York, Jan x.-There was q gen.
erai belief In Wall street tsday that the
government Is preparing for the issue OF
new per cent. loan. and that q treas
ury circular giving the terms OF the loan
is likely to be issued at any moment.
Washington DISPATCHES denied that such
a denomination had been reached by
the president. but apparently without any
effect upon current opinion whsch held
70 IL that another bond Issue Is impend-
ing. The chief influence OF this belief
was upon the money market. rather than
on the stock exchange. and was reflected
In hardening OF loans and withdrawal Of
much Of the offerings which have giut-
ted the market To- months past. The
factors Of the share speculation were the
prospective gold exports. the Withdraw
ais OF gold from the sub-treasury, the
heavy London market for American Sc
cursties, selling here for the foreign ac-
count. and the raising OF the Issue OF
silver versus gold which the presidents
message had led to both In congress- and
in sections of finance, not alone in this
country but beyond the sea.
The opening OF business on the ex-
change today saw a free selling move
ment commenced causing q sharp decline,
the depression continuing up to mid
day. at which time losses had been made
