tract was made with Belmont IL Co, on behalf
of n. NJ. Rotschild G. Sons Of London and
themselves. and J. p. Morgan d. Co. OF New
York for J. p Morgan g. Co. OF London.
Mr.. Morgan laid special stress on the fact
that he had given President Cleveland the
option to substitute at par within ten days in
lieu of the per cent bonds other bonds in
terms payebe in gold and bearing ony Ger
ce at interest if the issue OF the So mo should in
the mean time be authorized by Congress. Mr..
Morga would not say whether he Insisted the
loan should be $l00,6 10000. He refused to
say what banks and financial institutions wer1
interested wi II his firm and Be mont IL Co. IN
the purchase OF the bonds. While not saying
so in so many words, he conveyed the impress
sion that neither he nor Mr.. Belmont had given
the President any assurance that all the gold
with which the uonds will be purchased wilt
come from the other side.
