FLOATING A GREAT LOAN.
How the Bids Are Tabulated and Seal.
ed DEMONSTRATING Allotments."

From the New York Evening Post.
Floating great foreign loan involves so
much detail work that the clerical forces Of
institutions and banking houses identified
with the undertaking are often IN despair
when issue is announced Whenever
a loan is "oversubscrlbed," as three of the
japanese issues have been, the work is In
creased in proportion to the excess number
of bids received. The tabulation of bids
for this weeks offering of Japanese bonds
was smplifed In the case of one of the
banks that received subscriptions by the
preparation of a special register showing at
a glance the name, amount of subscription,
allotment, initial payment, sum returned,
the amount still due, if anything, on the
first installment. and other details calculated
to prevent duplication and mistake
Making allotments is one of the most
troublesome parts of the work. for the
bankers charged with this duty often incur
the enmity of large bidders whose applica-
tons are cut down in accordance with the
oversubScriptions. One man of great
wealth, who put in a very heavy bid for the
Japanese loan, received only 30 per cent of
what he asked for. The scaling down pro-
cess is usually arrived at by classifying the
bids according to size and allotting GER
tain proportion to those who subscribed for
$40, 200, $50, 600, 100000 or over. Although
uniform policy is usually followed, 1t has
been the custom of some banking houses to
give very large bidders with whom they
have close affiliations the full amount of
their subscriptions. Some of the prominent
life insurance companies often bid for bonds
with the distinct understanding that they
shall receive all they ask for. This was
at one time q prevalent practice, and when

WHO HOLDS THE GOLD
Holdings of Treasury and Banks, Com
pared With q Year Ago.

Resumption Of gold exports to Paris last
week. after the unprecedentedly heavy ship
ments of the winter season-Noyember
broke all records for the period and De
cember's and Januarys were never but once
eXceeded-drew some attention 10 the con
dition OF the countrys gold holdings Have
we still plenty of gold to spare?
The treaSurers estimate Of gold in the
United states at the opening Of July was
81, $50 215, TSI; on July l, 1864 it was 81
$50, 122, 101. Who holds the S33 $4,000 in
crease, and how was II obtained? The fed
eral treasury did not get Il; on June l the
government held only 81 300 900 more god
than ii held year before. The New York
city banks did not get it: their weekly
statement of July reported specie held
ings, So 600 000 less than in the same week
last year, and the detailed returns Of the
city's national banks show decrease in gold
alone of $l4 600 600. Banks outside of New
York, however, got slice OF the new gold.
The controller recent returns show that.
as against the aforementioned decrease "a
New York city. national Institutions else
where held ST. 729,O0O more gold than a
year ago, and good deal more of the gain
for the country whole would undoubt-
eddy be found In the numerous banking
institutions other than national.
AS to having gold to spare, the countrys
national banks now hold $50 1919 0U gold.
ten years ago this month they held $lT7-
2Gi 600. Specie in New York bank reserves
last Saturday was SO 1911 600. and il made
up 40 per cent of the total cash reserve.
Ten years. ago these banks held $50 sos. 0DD
specie, which was only SO per cent Of their
whole reserve.

SUMMER RESORT TRADING.
Rush of Stock Exchange Houses to In
stall Out-of-Town Wire Systems.
From the New York Evening Pos

From the New York Evening Post.
This weeks hot spell has FASTENED the
work of establishing summer resort
branches by stock exchange houses at
prominent watering places. This service
was delayed by the cool weather of June,
but with the greater activity in the stock
market and the recent exodus of large OPP
orators from the city the telegraph com
panies have begun the work of installing
special wire systems at out-of-toWn points.
Newport will get most of the large offices,
although Saratoga will also enjoy con-
siderable share of the patronage. All out
of-town business carries the full stock eX-
change commission of $3.50 per 100 shares,
bought or sold. even when such orders are
executed for a stock exchange member.
In this city one exchange member re
ceives q commission of only 81 per 100
shares on orders executed for fellow
member.
Because of the high charge for a special
wire and the liberal salaries paid to COM
petent managers a summer resort branch
office has to show business of from LOGO
to 20O0 shares a day to make 1t profitable.
Some of the Long Branch offices are run
almost at loss because of the competi-
ton al that resort for the business of
wealthy operators. A large broker said
this week. however, that 1t was often good
policy for a stock exchange house to keep
In touch with the vacation contingent even
at a loss, since the prestige secured was
well worth the price paid, and customers
thus obtained were apt to be held. Some
of the winter resort offices, such as Palm
Beach Virginia Hot Springs and other
southern points. are fast supersedng the
centers of summer travel profitable
places of representation for Wall street
houses. This Is largely because the visit
tors at winter resorts are more wealthy
on the average than the ordinary so1ourner
at a summer watering place. One stock
exchange member said this week that 1t
was often possible for a New York house
to pay the entire cost of running a summer
branch office with the commissions paid by
a single large trader, who dealt in 5000 or
10000 share lots once twice a week
The manager Of a branch office is paid
from $50 to 500 week, according to his
ability to influence business.

The Flirting Nuisance.

From the Baltimore Sun
The question of flirting is now occupying
the judicial mind in the capital of Iowa.
One of the most eminent of the Dogberrys
o. that city of the plains has undertaken to
lay down rules and regulations. He Is not
disposed 20 be oversevere, but he does de-
fine limits beyond which no one must ven
ture to go. In Des Moines Mr.. Justice
Dogberry declares that this thing of hav-
ing young man making up" to girl to
whom he has never been introduced must
stop. He will not insist upon an introduce
ton in all cases, in so large city as Des
Molnes. he hastens to add. That would be
to require too much of the genial and soci-
able west. A young man may be permit

HOW BROKERS GIVE NEWS.
Schemes on the Curb to Get Quick
Quotations to Customers.

From the New York Mail.
Competition among all classes of brokers
to Increase their clientele and to give their
customers the latest quotations and infor-
nation is keen. Among stock and cotton
phone the days news gossip from the
floor and in addition the ticker tells the
story OF prices. Besides practically all the
firms are subscribers to the various news
bureaus.
On the curb however. the brokers de-
pend largely upon their own enterprise in
keeping their offices and customers aware
Of what is occurring. The telephone has
revolutionized business in the Broad street
market, and Is considered so absolutely
bined and leased quarters at $1,000 year
and have put in booths. Others have pri-
vate phones in nearby buildings.
But there are other schemes, some or
which are even quicker than the telephone
and give almost as much satisfaction. A
number of brokers employ boys to print
the fluctuations of the various stocks In
chalk upon large states. These are held
above the boys heads and with the aid Of
field glasses are read by the people in the
offices in the skyscrapers. Other brokers
with quarters overlooking the curb mere
ly shout out the quotations to their assist
ants in the windows, while still others keep
messengers running with news.
1t is the practice of some offices to put
q piece of ca I'd board in a conspicuous place
In the window as a signal that their rep
resentative on the curb is wanted. a
few firms write orders on a small slip of
paper. roll them up with a light weight
inside and then throw the orders to the
curb for execution
