Not as High as at First Expected but
Above Wall Street Estimate.

Washington. Bids for the Phil
ippine friar lands bonds have been
opened at the, state department. The
highest bid for the purchase of the
entire issue of $7,000,000 was from
Harvey Fiske & Sons associated
with Fiske & Robinson, and the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. Their
figures were for all or none Of the
bonds 107.N and for all or any part
of the bonds at 105.57. There were
so bidders in all. The greater part
Of the eighty proposals were from
individuals who offered to take any,
where from $1,000 to $4,000 Of the
total loan. Some of the bids were
from the south and some from New
England but none from west of
Omaha. Many Of the bids for the
smaller lots were much higher than
the Fiske & Son proposal.
The impression in the insular bu-
reau is that the Harvey Fiske & Son
bid Of 107.77 offers the best rate, con-
sidering that the firm offers to take
all bonds at that figure This fig
ure undoubtedly is lower than the
bonds at first were expected to bring.
However, it is stated that the figure
realized was In excess Of the esti-
mates of some of the Wall street f.
nanciers.

ago the impression was prevalent
that the book companies would make
no fight on the Uniform Text Book
Law, and this would seem to be con-
firmed by reason of the fact that the
book companies have no men on the
ground. Usually when then the leg
