MO\EY AND BUSINESS.

Contradictory news is often more embar-
RAISING than no news. 80 that uncertainty mas
come 10 bc OF Itself a definite force In business
The last week brought fears that the mode of
the new loan would prevent It's success. ana
afterward rampant confidence that the syhdl-
cate would take the bonds anyhow; II brought
stoppage Of gold imports 10 some parties ana
commencement Of imports 10 others ana AT the
same tin" exports Of gold by others still, IL
brought the beginning OF new free-coinaSe de-
bate where better tariff had been strongly
hoped for. more delay and less hopefulness In
woollcn manufacture. lower prices In cotton
conds and prices lower for some kinds OF iron
bui higher the same week for others Indeed
the Inconsistent and contradictory movement
has been the principal feature of the week, but
has logically answered to the shifting phases
Of opinion i'm a time Of much uncertainty.
Toward the close Il seemed probable To many
that the bonds would be taken and the money
raised without great trouble. partly because
cold arrived in considerable amount and more
was said to be coming from two great German
banks. But it is not yet entirely clear how the
somewhat numerous bidders for bonds are to
provide themselves with gold. and the absurdity
Of some Of the reports. as. for instance that
syndicate had enlisted Boston banks to furnish

hold less than $4,000 O0O only shows how far
ancld minds were searching for some solution
The National banks of all the reserve cities
held at the last quarterly report only $looo0oo0o
Of gold and Of gold Treasury certificates. which
for the purpose Of obtaining gold without draw
ing IT from the Treasury are not the same thing.
and as they held OF the latter certificates nearly
SIS 900. 900 their stock OF actual gold was about
sSS 600 OOO while the scattered National banks
outside the reserve cities held about S540OOO 900 In
actual gold AS the Administration has care
fully avoided any effective appeal TO the boards
OF individuals the minor National banks would
furnish the gold with some difficulty. even by
instruments. and there were not offered to them
the highest possible inducements.
The Treasury already begins to reason that II
is losing gold during the preparation for this
sort of loan. Gold exports I'm November. 1t Is
said, were nearly as large as the amount drawn
from the Treasury. but in December fell about
IS 900 900 short of the amount withdrawn from
the Treasury for all purposes Already this
year about $65ls.OO0 gold has been exported.
