So Treasury Officials Regard the Govern
ment Gall for a Popular Loan.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Four thousand
six hundred and forty bids for S558, $780,
$50 worth Of bonds. Such ia the tremen-
dous total OF the subscriptions opened at
the Treasury Department to- day in ao-
cordance with the terms of the call ia
sued month ago inviting proposals for
$500 100000 Of United States 4 per cent.
bonds to run for thirty years from Feb
ruary 1, 1895. These figures do not in
clude about Sl2o, 600, 900 of "crank" bids
rejected as bogus. The immense offer
ings astounded experts.
The bids literally swamped the Treas.
ury Department which was so taken by
surprise that at 6 o'clock tonight,
although extra clerks had been hur-
riedly drafted, the work of tabulsting
the bids WAS still in progress and 1t was
impossible to tell with def1niteness how
many bids and for what aggregate had
been received ct figures in advance of
the upset price of 1O.6s7.7, at which a
syndicate composed of j. P. Morgan s.
Co., Bliny. Flek & Co. snd the Deutsche
Bank of Berlin offered to take the whole
loan. The bids ranged from par up to
single $50 bid at $50. 1t Is impossible
therefore to say at this time how the
awards will be made.
Treasury officials regard the loan as
q complete success, both as to the pop-
ular subscription feature and the prices
obtained. Bids came from several
thousand individuals and from hundreds
Of national banks and other banking
institutions. Nearly all the leading
New York bankers and big insurance
companies were represented in the list
OF bidders. but with few exceptions they
were out.maneuvred by the Morgan
syndicate.
Owing to the confusion caused by the
magnitude OF the offerings and the con-
aequent delay in classifying and sched-
uliDg the bids, any authoritative state.
mens OF the policy that will be pursued
cannot be made at this time. AS the
great bulk OF offerings were below the
Morgan figure. it ia believed. that the
syndicate headed by the great New
York bankers will be accepted for at
least S50i000,000 and possibly mo 9.
In any event no bid below the syndi.
cate rate OF 110'6s,2.7 will be accented,
as that rate covers the entire loan. It
Is understood that Mr. Morgan will pro.
cure part Of the gold from abroad and
will not need to deplete the Treasury to
furnish any part of the gold called for
under his bid. There were q vast mum.
Der OF bids for hgures fraction ally rising
ITO but under the Morgan figure, and
for amounts sggregating sufficient to
take up the en- tire loan. Among them
were the officers of the Stewart and
Mccall syndisstes, INCLUDING the big
insurance, banking and trust companies
OF New York city, which stood ready to
take huge blocks of bonds &C figures in
excess OF prices named a week ago 90
high mark for large lots.
Secretary Carlisle was greatly pleased
at the success OF she bond offerings. He
said no definite statement could be
made az yet ooncerning the awards to
SUCCESSFUL biddera nor how far II at ell
he would exercise his option OF rejecting
any or all bids.
