BIDS FOR GOLD BONDS.
Tenders mt Par Not Accepted by New
YOrk's Mayor and Chamberlain.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Blds were opened
to-day for s3.433033 of 31s per cent. gold
bonds of the city of New York. OF the total
amount of bonds sl,5l9,3OO are nontaxable
and for these there were tenders aggre-
eating $3.S97,342. while for the other bonds
amounting to s2.9l3, 1873, the tenders footed
up only $1.s61,5O0. The highest bid was
101.25. Two tenders which named prices
below par were thrown out Under the law
No. award was made. AT the meeting of
the sinking fund commission to open the
bids, the Mayor and city chamberlain op-
posed the sale of any bonds at par, while
the controller argued that ii was the duty
of the commission to accept the best terms
offered. as the city is paying per cent
on the money IL has borrowed to meet cur
rent expenses of the several funds which
the bonds were designed to replenish. Both
the Mayor and controller refused TO yield
the point. and as no bonds can be issued
without the sanction of the controller and
the Mayor has the power TO veto the ac-
ton of the controller, no course Is open
but to readvertiSe for bids for the bonds
and that will be done.
