LATE FEATURES OF
 THE STOCK MARKET Good Influence of Offer of Panama Bonds Wanes
 Somewhat. DIFFICULTIES HAVE ARISEN Inflow of Gold from Abroad Continues in Steady
 Stream.
DIFFICULTIES HAVE ARISE

The announcement before beginning of last weeks operations, of the gov ernment offer of $50,000,OOO in Panama bonds and of s1OO,OOO,0OO in one-year three per cent treasury notes, the lat ter in denominations of $5G and multi ples, aroused bright expectations of a decisive stoppage of the currency fam inc. Hoarders of money it was thought would be attracted by an absolutely secure government obligation during a period of distrust of usual investment facilities. The good influence of the measure on sentiment waned during the week, principally because of the complexities discovered n working out the project. Detailed information was not made public of the amounts being subscribed by private capital.
 On the part of the banks the prep arations for participation in the issue were found to affect the money and currency markets to some. extent, and there was much confusion of mind in estimating the effects of the transact ion. Meantime, the inflow of gold from abroad continues in steady stream and large additional engagements con- tinue to be made to arrive at future dates. For the first time during the present month the bank of France fur nished part of these supplies, the trans action being based on commercial bills of exchange, The new source of sup ply thus opened up is considered of great importance. Various indications served to prove how far the general banking situation has been strength ened by the heavy withdrawals from New York and the forwarding of in- coming gold as it arrived,
 The Canadian banks made reports in response to an official call during the week, which revealed the large drain from New York to that destination, with an accompanying scaling down of loans on call with the Dominion placed largely in the New York stock market. Bankers are awaiting the next cal from the United States controller of the currency, the usual period for which has now passed.
 There is growing conviction that res- ponse to this call will show that the general banking position is so forti- fled by the strong current of cash (which has flowed out of New York and from foreign sources that the feeling of mutual suspicion and distrust which Hhave been by far the most potent fac Itors in the recent embarrassments, will &duickly die out

morning a dividend check of $1O per share.
 Holders of An1algamated Copper this morning will receive a quarterly divi- dend of $l per share.
 Transfer books of the Delaware and Hudson company close to-day for the quarterly dividend of 214 per cent, pay able December 16.
 Adams Express company has de- clared a regular quarterly dividend of g and an extra dividend of S2 per share payable the first Moday in December.
 The first payment of $25 on the sub scription to the new per cent. deben- lures of the New Haven Gas Light company will be payable December 2. The next installment of 25 per cent will come due March ?.
 An assessment of 50 cents per share will be due Wednesday for Wyandot Copper company, small amounts of which were placed here some years ago at $3 and $4 per share. During the re- cent drop this stock has sold from 25c to 15c per share. It is doubtful if it is worth while for small holders to pay this assessment, as another one of like amount will be due May 27 and the company, as we understand, is ship ping nothing, but hopes in tunnelling about the property to strike something, as it is located in a rich district.
