BIDS FOR THE BONDS.
Little Doubt That the Whole Issue VIII
Be Taken.

Be Taken.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Nothing def
mite can be learned at the Treasury de-
partment as to the mum Der and amount
of bids already received for the new
bonds. As fast as received the bids
are deposited in safe where they will
remain until next Wednesday, when
they will be opened and their contents
announced. 1t is certain, however,
that a large number of bids have been
received and eveay mail brings consid-
cradle additions. AS to the amounts
1F prices offered, even the secretary of
! ,he treasury knows nothing, except in
the few cases where he has been priv
ately advised by letter. There seems
to be nc doubt that the amount of the
bids will exceed the 500, 600, 0QC to be
offered, and it is expected that the
foreign offers will be considerably
more than was expected when the
loan was announced. The improved
political situation abroad, it is be-
lieved, will contribute to the END.
