gregate, leading cities of the United

ing to information here yesterday
The understanding is that final de
tails of the flotation could not be ar
ranged in time for Offering on tina;

temporarily deferred.
Orders for equipment placed by the

Also Higher.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March S-Further
selling of French government bonds
was the feature of todays market,
coinciding with the persistent de-
cline in French francs Adding to the
loss of about a point Friday, French
SIS and 71.s were offered in large
volume, but with good market on
the way down. The loss in reality
was not large compared with the
slump in the exchanges. French
provincial and municipal issues were
likewise lower. On the week all
these bonds are down from 3 to 4
POINTS. The balance of the foreign
though heaviness was still noticeable
In United Kingdom 5hs of 1887.
st. Paul Issues Active.
Speculation continued today in the
short-term st. Paul junior bonds, but
fluctuations were not as large as Fri
day and the day before. At the high
net gain since last Saturday of 6E
points. The rise was due to the re-
port that negotiations had been be-
gun for refunding the issue, which
IcpoTt, however, cOulQ not De con-
firmed. Next in interest were the
securities of the Missouri Pacific,
whose general is are up nearly 8
points on the week and the 6s almost
as much.
In the gh-grade investment list
changes on the week are small. Bonds
have been steady. but except in a few
Isolated cases have shown no tend
dency to go higher.
Liberty Loans Higher.
Liberties and United States govern
ment loans were higher today, con-
tinuing the recovery begun late yes
terday. On the week, however,
changes are small and mostly lower.
Doubt about the bonus legislation Is
the principal factor in the govern
ment bond market just now.
1t was reported today that the
Treasury Department is planning an
Offering early next week of long
term bonds as we'll as an issue Of
certificates of Indebtedness. The
amount of the new financing was es-
timated at s500.O00, 900. of which
5000. .00O. 900 may be offered in long
term bonds. The rate of interest on
the bonds was expected to be AZ per
cent and on the certificates per
cent. There was no confirmation OF
these details.
New offerings for the week have
been the smallest of the year to date.
with the exception of the week of
the New Year holiday. The total
amount is only around s2s,00O,00O.

cident. The stock had gone up 2ss
points to 23H at the close on Friday
and at its high today was selling
more than 5 points above yesterday 5

that Colorado Fuel and Iron affairs

Evocar la niemoria de nuestros lnuer-
tos ilustres y de facultades intcIectivas
de la alto relieve, es evocar los altos
prestigios en- que descansa la litsratu-
"a regional antillana.
Bonafoux, preclaro Intellectual que
surgi6 a la vida pdblica en- la c1udad
del Guamani'', fue un astro de pri-
mera magnitud que brill6 con luz pro-.
pia en- la literature extranjera ma
tiva.
En- Francia, conquist6 altos iaureIes,
meritos indiscutibles con sus obras IL
terarias que han sido traducidas a to-
dos los idionaas.
En- Espana. en- sus luninosas polenal-
cas- con Leopoldo Alas (Clarin), Ia
chispa de la idea de su habil dialect
ca ilustr6 las mentes avesadas a las
atlas cuestiones tecnicas filos6fcas.
En- Puerto Rico, su vida de juriscon-
sulto notable y iiterato profundo, aun
estan patentes en- Ell tablero cientitico
de vsllosos intefcctuaiss.
81 alguna nube pudiera egnpanar sa
nlentalidad poderosa, ESQ no eE o0tce
para reconocer en- el al notable erusli-
to, al exinlio heinbre de ciencias.
Elevar un monurlento a la memo
ria de aquel preclaro hijo de Guayama
para perpetuar su memorial, es honrar
a los muertos iIustres y dignihcar al
pueblo de su nacilniento.
A los honhres flantropos de Puerto
Rico va mi grito de reclamo en- tai
scntido.
So cristalizara Ia idea levantandolc
un pequefc inoliurento aquel exinlso
paladin de las ietras puertorriquesias
on la cludad de Guayama, pueblo don
dc naciera aaueI cervantes de Ia lite
ratura castellana7
AHA veremos ia gesti6n de esta idea
noble v leTantada!
