BY TRANSVAAL LOAN
Thousands of British Investors
Were Greatly Interested.

WIRE OECaAAy
London. May THE issue of the
prospectus of the Transvaal loan was
awaited with the greatest interest in
financial circles here, and there was a
scene of considerable excitement at the
Bank of England to-day, where thous-
ands of people congregated hours be-
fore it was finally given out that the
prospectus announced the issue of $780,
100000 of the $175, 100000 authorized and
that the price would be at par, with
interest at 8 per cent. The loan is re-
deemable in 1858. A sinking fund of
l per cent. will be applied to the pur-
chase of stock when below par.
The rush for prospectuses was I'M
precedented. At the hour of issue
thousands of people stood in the pour
ing rain, four deep, in the streets lead
ing to the Bank of England. The scene
in the Hobbies of the bank during the
first issuing of the prospectuses resem-
bled a football scrimmage, in which
the weakest went to the wall. Later,
street hawkers sold copies of the pros
pectuses as fast as they COY get the
cash.
Crowds continued to enter the bank
long after the usual closing hour.

From the New York Press.

FROM tne new 1OFk EreSS.
There is a man of 80 in a Broadway
store who receives a salary of $1,000 a
year for suggesting things. His call
ing is not exactly new, but it has been
specialized. Twenty years ago he
was an ordinary salesman in the house
furnishing department, earning So a
week. His cleverness in advising young
married couples what to buy when
they set up housekeeping attracted the
notice of his employers and he was rap
idly advanced. Finally a department
was made for him, and now all that he
does is to suggest the kind of carpets,
rugs, shades, curtains, portieres, sofas,
chairs, pictures, bric-a-brac, etc, that
ought to go with the Queen Anne or
Elizabeth cottage or the Harlem fiat
or the Riverside drive palace.
