Bonds VIII Be Bought by Members Of
the Syndicate.
New York, January ai--Bradstroet's re-
view of the New York stock market says:
Decidedly less consideration was given
to the condition of the governm nj bond
, issue this week, 1t Ia assumed that II will
be somewhat over-subscribod. though the
prevalent opinion is that the bulk of the
loan viii he taken by the same Interests
which formed the defunc- Morgan syndi-
cate and that public subscriptions" SO
called. will bc scattering and relatively
unimportant. The most significant feature
In this connection Is the evidence afforded
that the larger interests among the pre-
sumable subscribers have already pre-
pared themselves. thus decreasing the
pressure to obtain gold or grecnbacks and
visibly relieving the strain upon the
money market. Gold and legal tenders
stu command premium of %lpis per
cent, but the inquiry has siackened and
transactions are on smaller scale. The
effort to accumulate legal tenders sug-
Eests, of course, that some of the bidders
are shaping their arrangements with the
view to obtaining their gold with which
to make payments for bonds from the
treasury Itself.
In the fact of conditions of the exchange
market, which induced the export Of 81
100000 gold to Europe. all of which was
Withdrawn from tho United States treas
ury, 81 10000 specie Is said to have come
from London and other amounts are on
the way. 1t Is said these cor list of bills
of exchange. To this extent, therefore.
the preparations for the subscriptions are
positive loss to the treasury gold reserve,
which at the end of the week Is reduced to
only $50 100000.
The most important event Of the week
was the meeting Of the coal road repre-
sentatives on Thursday. The fact that
production of anthracite in 1895 reached
the enormous amount of 4s50,0co tons
demonstrates the Generalization Of the
trade and the necessity of restricting the
output to figures nearer The consumptiye
demand The meeting was rot immrdi-
ately productive OF success. The vital
point In the situation is Its distribution In
a way to satisfy the Rcadings demand
for an increase and yet not to take too
much from other roads. A committee was
appointed to suggest q plan and report
next Thursday. Delay seems inevitable,
but the belief is that some form OF har-
mony and restriction VIII be finally ar
rived at.
Reading securities were firm on the idea
that its claim for an allotment Of II per
cent of the output will he substantially

or the approxima tely $4,000 cars for
which orders have been placed during the
past year, most of them conform closely
TO the previous standards of the roads
ordering them, with the exception suggest
eu-that they are more carefully built as
regards detail and are In most instances
ntted with the approved forms of safety
appliances. Comparatively few cars have
been put into service without complete
equipment as regards air brakes automat-
ic couplers and minor appliances, such as
hahdholds, IN proper number and position.
IN some instances metal has been used
In under frames, but the use is not suf-
hcient to weigh in Il general statement
The use of metal in trucks seems to have
Increased to considerably greater ex-
tent, and In many cases the entire truck.
including its appepdages, brake beams,
etc, is specified to be of metal. The in
terest of the United States government
In the matter of increasing the safety of
postal cars has caused the bringing out
of variety of designs for this purpose.
Perhaps the most noticeable features in
these designs have been the tendency to
dispense with end platforms, the general
Strengthening of the ends of the frame
in some cases by the free use Of steel
plates. and the Encouragement of the In
terror to afford greater safety of position
to employees On passenger equipment YES
tibules have been added in considerable
numbers, and the appliances for heating
and lighting have shown marked improve
ment in the nature OF the appliances as
well as in the number of cars so equipped
a conservative estimate of the number of
cars to he built the coming year would
be 10000, and 1t is probably as conser-
vative to predict that nearly If not quite
all, will be equipped with the best type
of safety appliances.
On the subject of locomotives there is
less TO say. A large number of locomo-
| tives have been built or placed under or
! der. but with few exceptions they conform
| to previous standards. One instance of
n return TO single drivers and one of n
! somewhat radical departure from general

! ficiency under certain circumstances seems
