The Loan and River Improvement.
The average of the bids accepted for
the new loan Is sl1l.s7SS The premium
on the whole loan is sll,s7s,S36 The
premium on the secret syndicate loan
OF last year was at the rate OF 81. 900
on 800. 5000. the amount OF the pres
ent loan,
II was the intention OF the admins
tration to place the new loan In the old
way and at about the same figures. The
difference in favor OF the treasury is
ss,s7s.0OO. In a dry time this amount Of
money Is worth having. 1t would put
in the Ohio river about a dozen such
dams as Wheeling is asking, and the
money would do the country more SER
vice in the dams than 1t could possibly
do In the pockets of the syndicate mem
bers.
Since West Virginia had good deal
to do with bringing about the change
of policy which gathers into the treas
ury this handsome and unexpected
sum, Congress can hardly refuse to au-
thorize the construction OF the dam
asked for at this point. For that mat
ter Congress would do well to put the
whole wlndtall into the improvement
