WALL STREET sQUIRMs.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-There was
considerable disappointment in
Wall street today, because Of the
comparatively small amount Of
bonds allotted the Morgan syndi-
cate. 1t had been expected that
the syndicate would get nearly
sixty millions of the onds,whereas
the total amount awarded 1t was
only a little over thirty-three mill
lions. Wall street wanted the syn
dictate to handle the bonds for the
reason it believes the issue would
then be financed without disturb
ing the money markets. Dealings
in the issue were already begun at
1I6 to 1l61. The disappointed bid
ders are seeking to secure the new
bonds at prices below the open
market, and some persons who bid
beyond their resources are now
threatened with the possibility Of
being called upon to make imme-
diate payment In gold, which they
do not possess. Bullion dealers,
anticipating an increase OF business
on this account, are prepared to
buy, from the successful bidders,
who are unable to procure gold, the
contract rights on all government
bonds awarded them.
