indicate how the announcement was

though the president was constrained
10 make this popular loan so far as
possible by soliciting individual sub
scriptions. IL is understood neither he
nor Carlisle place any reliance in its
success. even through the aid of the
syndicate. not because of any lack of
confidence. but for the reason that the
gold of the country is very largely in
the hands OF the bankers who are un-
willing to part. with IL. except 20 their
own material advantage. especially at
