Thursday. May 14-p. m.

Thursday May 14-p. m.
1t was officially announced to-day that the re-
cent Issue Of S4000000 3h per cent bonds or
this city had all been taken In London on 3 per
cent basis London has also taken $4.OOo,oVo
State Of Massachusetts bonds. and tomorrow IL
will have chance TO subscribe TO S3,OO0VVO
per cent gold bonds OF the Pittsburg Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis Railway Company. sub
scriptons for which will be opened simultaneously
in London. Frankfort and New-York There Is
every reason 10 expect that before Mr.. Morgan
returns from Europe round amounts or various
railway securities will be placed In London and
on the Continent, and that throughout the sum-
mer there will be frequent foreign buying OF
American railway bonds in lump sums. Then
to-day. and in fact in the last few days, London
has been buying Atchison securities. principally
the adjustment IS. and to-day the chief factor
in the stock and bond market was buying for
the foreign account. All this In spite OF the
nervous prostration and hysteria which certain
individuals and papers have worked themselves
into over the alleged uncertainty of Mckineys
position on the currency question. Other encour-
aging proof that investors and large holders OF
and operators in stocks are not driven into hope
less despair and are not entertaining suspicious
Of National and personal bankruptcy on account
Of the hullaballoo raised in some quarters over
the currency question Is found in the refusal OF
these holders Of and operators In stocks TO force
their holdings the market. and the ndsposi-
ton Of foreign investors to indulge in any lquida-
ton Of their American holdings.
In to-day's market stocks were strong through
out and sentiment more cheerful Mod
crate purchases for the foreign account were
executed in all the international favorites, the
chief buying. however. being In St Paul and
Louisville and Nashville. Gable reports to houses
with foreign connections showed q better specu-
ative sentiment In London, and local sentiment
was apprecably improved by the more opti-
mistic feeling IN England although the improve
ment wac not reflected in any material increase
in dealings. Total sales were 1OS,30l shares. a
gain OF about 1900 over yesterday. Final
prices showed net gains Of "a to II per cent in
the majority OF active shares, and the only
weakness In the active list was In Consolidated
Gas. Chicago Gas and Reading. which were a
trifie lower. The sterling exchange market was
dull with a weaker tendency, while the local
money market rates showed a hardening tone.
There will be good supply Of exchange offered
on account Of the sales Of securities abroad, and
the only gold exports in sight are special trans
actions for Germany. The demand for money
shows a slight increase. but the receipts of funds
from the Interior continue large.
