NEW YORK, May 23.-The most lmpor-
tant news of the day, and the most impor-
tant news that has come to hand in many
u day was that which was set forth ex
clusively in the Sun this morning relat-
Ing to the financial arrangements which
have been concluded in Paris on behalf of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Adequate confirmation of this intelligence
was obtained during the morning, although
bankers with French connections asserted
that they were not as yet fully apprised
with regard to the terms of the loan, which
the company has effected at Paris. and
there seemed to be some question also with
regard to the amount. That the company
has disposed of large block of its per
cent bonds in a market which has been here
tofore practically closed to American cor
pora tons is an announcement of the great
est Importance and significance.
There was much discussion during the
day with regard to the various imposts
which the French government leyies ON
transactions of this character but it was
pointed out In foreign banking circles that
the point in question was of little weight
inasmuch the loan has actually been ar
ranged 1t was learned also that the taxes
on tranactions of this character are of a
shifting and uncertain sort. being subject
to Communication, and in fact being levied
practically at the discretion OF the authori-
ties
