 The syndicate also announced that the managers are distributing to those who did not withdraw their bonds for investment cash amounts to between TO per cent and n per cent of the amount of their p1rticipations
 Representatives of the syndicate de- clared that the result established the success of the flotation. particularly in view of it's foreign character and the fact that it was the largest venture of its kind ever undertaken by Amer ican bankers

 Of the $2S0.uon.oOp withdrawn from the market il is estimated that at least s100.000 .000 was taken by manu- facturers and dealers in war supplies The largest subscribers of this class include interests identified with the .Bcthlehem Steel company. the Du Pont Powder company and its affil- ated industries and several wealthy individuals, including some more of the prominent shareholders of the United States Steel corporation
 It is noteworthy that while Anglo French bonds were being offered at concessions. war bonds and other is sues of the German. Austrian and Hungarian governments. which are traded in here to a limited extent were offered at further recessions from original subscriptions prices.
