No Report on Bonds.

On the last day OF November the history
OF the $4,000 funding bonds authorized
was sent to C. r. Hannah OF Council Bluffs,
who bid $2,4OO as a premium for the issue.
Since that time not word has been heard
from Mr.. Hannah and the city officials are
becoming anxious, At the time the history
was turned over to Mr. Hannah he stated
that he would submit II to his legal ad-
visors for the purpose Of having them pass
upon the validity OF the issue. 1t was
thought at that time that not more than
week or ten days at the most would be
consumed in securing an opinion from the
attorneys. Interest on these bonds for two
months is now overdue and the mayor and
treasurer are afraid that the bondholders
will be clamorlng for their money Ar
rangements were made for the payment Of
portion OF the issue. but there is still
quite a cum due, which may be called for
any day. The city officials are very anxious
to have this matter Strengthened cut by
January If not before In case the issue
is declared illegal by municipal bond at
torneys It is Inferred that an issue OF gem
eral Indebtedness bonds will be needed to
provide for the taking up Of the district
bonds discarded.

The special committee of the council has
not reached any conclusion yet In regard to
securing funds for the payment of the sal
aries of the members OF the fire and police
departments. An effort will, It is under
stood. be made today to induce the banks
here to accept the claims and carry them
until next August. II this cannot be done
It is possible that the business men of the
city will be appealed to. 1t is asserted that
the merchants could take the claims of
these men and allowing a reasonable dis
count furnish supplies etc, until such time
as warrants can be issued TO take up the
claims. There is an objection TO this, how
ever, as certain well known attorneys have
given the opinion that an overlap cannot be
paid out of the amount levied next July to
carry tho departments for the year follow
ing. In other words. claims against the
city cannot be collected where the funds
have been overdrawn.
The decision that the city can, IL 1t so
desires. repudiate all claims where there is
an overlap in the funds has caused con-
siderable comment and anxiety among those
who now hold claims against funds in
which there is no money. 1t is stated that
any citizen may secure an order of the
court restraining the city from paying any
overlap II he so desires. According to the
cnarter the court, IL 10 stated, WOul0 natur-
ally be compelled to issue an injunction
against the payment Of such claims as the
law is plain on the subject 1t can thus
readily be seen that the special committee
has serious problem to consider. There
is. however, some hope that means may be
devised whereby the money can be raised
to pay the men in these departments until
next August
| Members OF both departments are con-
siderably worried, as they do not see where
their Christmas turkeys are coming from.
| Street rumor has it that unless the council
| takes some action on the matter at the
meeting to be held on Monday night every
member Of the police force will tender his
| resignation at roll call Tuesday morning.
| II this is done the city will be absolutely
without police protection, unless citizens
volunteer to perform the duties of patrol
men pending a settlement OF the difficulty.

FINANCE IND TRADE.

NEW YORK, August 11.-There was

dition to yesterdays Az point decline
without any news to explain the move
ment beyond reports OF poor business.
The common stock fell 1ssc to the
lowest price on record Sugar adj
vanced a point in the morning on buy
ing attributed to covering of an i'm
portant outstanding short account
forced to cover by the operations OF
bull pool in the stock. Most of the
gan was lost in the late dealings. These
comprise the only movements worth
individual mention in the days stock
market. The significance of the mar
ket continues purely negative, the de-
termined restraint of the speculation
marking the waiting for a solution OF
the many points of uncertainty in the
situation. The bank statement con-
formed pretty closely to expectations,
the exports of gold for to-day amount
ing to $3,250,000 evidently not figur-
ing in the statement. The earlier ex-
ports were Offset by the receipts of
gold from the Pacific coast and the
currency from the interior so far as
to bring the decline in cash resources
down to less than 100000. It is OF
special interest to observe that while
the weeks fixture of American capital
in foreign investments has been carry
ing out gold in payment, foreign
money markets are still adding to the
sum of their floating Indebtedness to
the New York market as reflected In
the loan expansion which is made on
sterling exchange collateral. Further
receipts of gold are expected in New
York next week on account both of
Klondike and Australian receipts at
San Francisco; but a heavy addi-
tional outgo to London is considered
well assured. No authorized an
nouncements can be had of shippers
plans, but it is credibly reported that
tentative arrangements have already
been made for shipping at least
SIS, 900, coo and competent estimates are
made that the total will reao8 $40, v00,-
600. This leaves any Paris demand out
of consideration, the rise in the bank
OF England's bid for gold leaving a
doubt whether any inducement re-
mains to ship to France.
