THE NEW BONDS.
Subscriptions Aggregate Seven

WASHINGTON, July Inquiries at
the Treasury Department ELECTED the
information that the total subscriptions
for the bond issue of 100000, 900 aggre.
gated $19O,OOO, 600. OF this amount
there have been received and absolute
ly accepted subscriptions for amounts
of $500 and less. $40,00O,00O Subscrip-

to future allotment, $250,OOO,OOO. A

of / per cent. S1OO,O00.0O Two syn
dicate propositions for any part or all
of the bonds offered, $2OO,OOO,OOO each,
$40O, 100000.
These syndicate offers and this offer
for bonds at premium are not in the
regular form, although they came from
entirely responsible sources. and no al
lotment will be made in either case. It
is expected that heavy subscriptions will
increase in number with the beginning
OF the new month. Savings bank de-
posits will probably be realized to a
considerable amount, as the six months
interest period is July LIST, and with
draWals now can be made by the de-
