Morcan Syndicate Short. The Morgan pnI at New York was busy I'riday sellii,' bnds at the market rate of lltVVi. There were reports in Wall Ktreet that Mr. Morgan was als. a huyer of bonds, which was hot unlikely, as they re r'garhl as sure to advance to 12U within a short time. It is said lhat the Morgan people, like many others, have contracts for the delivery of many of the bond, and lind that they are short in the supply ihey expected t gt. Bate ill the day. too. came a report from Washington saying that the Morgan symlh-nte wan only to get .S'wt.i.MMi.iMm of the loan. This was a rreat surprise, as on Wednesday tin general opinion of those who heard the r-aliiig of the bids was that Mr. Morgan would get at ha-t S5o..hmMnio. and Mr. Morgan reported the treasury hrks had given hi:n S"T. m m h M as his probable allotment. At the subtivasury in New York there was an inrush of gdd for cxnmination. which means that those who are in and above the Morgan bid are placing their gold for safe keeping in the treasury vaults until the arrival of the oliicial notification that bonds have been allotted to them. Turn in the Itusiness Title. II. C Den iV Co.s Weekly BeviVi. of Trade says: "The Wonderful sueeess of the j.:. pular loan alters the face of events. The iulli'.ciire upon all manufacturing and nil trade cannot be lightly estimated. It puts the treasury on a safe basis for the time, whether Cngr'ss Joes anything useful or not. It notifies foreign nations that the I'nited States has power as well :is i m it ose. It unlocks millions of gdI which have been ra there 1 in preparation, brings directly s-veral millions of gold from 1'urojM'. and stimulates the anxnty of foreign investors to obtain America a securities. With such a revolution ia business suddenly effected, the customary rei-ords of the last w--k and month are cf less value than usual.' Cell for Dunlop. Joseph It.
