Br announced for some Days.
The only question remaining AT the ter
minatiDn Of subscriptions for the tiO,OOO.OOO
new Pennsylvania n yesterday was the
number Of times the issue had been over
subscribed. Kuhn, Loeb a Co. couldn't
formulate an estimate that they could put
out az a close approximation, but a member
Of the firm was positive that subscriptions
in excess Of tsOO, 1000, or twenty times
the amount Of the issue, had been received,
Apart from this statement estimates ranged
~ high az a billion and a quarter. The
number Of subscribers was said 10 he in
excess Of 2o.OOO, including most Of the
Swings hanks, insurance companies, banks
aud banking houses.
Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co. put out a very popular
bond ]fotatiOn in one Of the issues OF Japan
eee bonds. The Pennsylvania Offering
made the Japanese subscription look like
a trihing incident. Undoubtedly il would
have compared even more favorably but
for the fact that the bankers closed the
subscription almost Immediately after II
had opened at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
and cut Of a large number OF applicants.
II will take the clerks several days to COM
pute all the applications and make out the
list Of allotments. Subscribers will get
but a small part Of the amount applied for.
Adyices from London were that the sub
scriptious received by the Rothsohilds and
Earrings amounted to more than the entire
Offering, though by no means IA heavy az
the subscriptions here. Seldom, II ever,
has participation in an American railroad
f~otation been so eagerly sought abroad.
In London the bonds were traded in when
issued at a premium Of two points. Here
the price on the curb advanced steadily

IONDON, April q. No figures are oftici-
ally issued regarding the subscriptions
here to the new issue Of $4,000, 900 4 per
cent bonds by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, but market estimates are that
they amount to from 500 900 900 10 $3.50
100, 900. Some financial writer's warn British
capitalists that II further American issues
| are pending, az it is believed there are,
| they ought to demand high terms for the
accommodation. They add that New York
is evidently elated by the reception given
by the British to their share OF the Penn
s~ylvania issue and interpret II as an ind
cation that British inanciers are thirsting
! for American bonds, but the writer's doubt
whether the exceptional financial hacking
given TO the Pennsylvania issue will he
forthcoming for the other talked Of issues.
They advise a close scrutiny Of such issues
before they are taken up and urge that the
temporary unattractiveness Of British issues
should not be allowed to play too largely
! into the hands Of foreign borrowers.
