FOREIGN FIRMS ARE INTERESTED 1 Prospect* Exceedingly Good for un Over Subscription to the Loan-How MocU Gold Honey 911*111 Bo Necessary In the Matter. 1 if New York, Nov. 22.—A number o£ foreign bankers held a conference wltU the presidents of tlio leading trust com p-lira's this afternoon in die United states Trust Company's office. There were represented the tollawing houses: Speyer & Co., Kuhn, loeb. & Col, Drexel, Murgua & Co., Heideibadh, kkullwimer & Co., hazard Frcres &. Co. ahd J. and W. Sellstnuo. The amtugoments were perfected for tab ng a block of bonds, but wheither tho bids would be for Uxo wbolo amount or not Mr. John A. Stowort, president of the United States Trust Company, declined to say. There Is no syndloaito fiormeil In tho technical sense, buit a general uiulersmndlng as to the price at which bids would bo put in was reached. Arrangements wore also perfected for securing tho gold. Xolnvitkslhmding tho mystery with which prospective bidders ore envelop ing their intentions, it is understood Hint tho national banks will put in llidr bids on a 3 per cent, basis, while tho coinlinntioii of trust companies aud foreign bankers will bid sligh/tly under 3 per cent. There has been uo formal agreement between the banks regarding the tueth- •otl of furnishing the gold, but this is not necessary at the present time, us tho terms of tho subscription only require payments in inshtllments. A dozen bonks held the major portion of the goto in Now York city and it is espeoted thrut tho tanks will part with 40 per oent. of their gold holdings. It is extremely unlikely that the banks will ooobe togwlher to determine what shall bo done regarding die gold until Monday next. The bids will all bo in then, and the banks holding tlio uulk of die goljl will bo able to determine fully what they will he oalled upon to do. As It Is expeoted that tile Issue will bp- over-subscribed for, uach stilt: seriber will not know what nmonnt of gold he will need uufc'l the treasury allotment Is made. Tho Now- York banks will then know how much gold will be required by lhelr depositors and can act Intelligently. OTiie presence of a representative from each of the foreign houses wihldh condluot the gold shipping business also leads to the belief that If the New York banks Should tall to do their full duty, the gold wilt be sent abroad. north qeoroa Methodists.

New York Nov. 23.-It was rmor-M late in the day that after a protracted oonferened, a syndicate was mode up tills afternoon to take one-htilf of the $50,009,000 government loan. President Stewart of the United States Trust Company and hia friends subscribed for the other half. The new syndicate is said to comprise the Chemical, Park, Importers and Traders, the Chase, ;he Fourth National and the Bank of Com mentoe.- These banks are among the» largest holders of gold, and if they take the loan Ohe treasury will be a large gainer of the yellow metal.

When the fore Ism houses know* what amount of bonds is awarded to them, -they dan begin drawing their bills of exchange on London, and ua ample time Is allowed for making the full payments to the government if any large blocks of bonds are taken by them, their bills will force down the foreign exchange market and (permit gold to be Imported more dheaply than the present condition of the foreign exchange market would-seem to war rant. The local treasury offletais. who are watching the bankers very closely,' have reduced their estimates of the amount of gold that wil be secured through the bond issue, and are not sanguine that over $30,000,000 gold will be furnlrfhed by the New Yortc banks. It Is believed, however, that some gafd which was hoarded during the panic by timid capitalists, will be tempted from the prlvaite hoards by the bond Issue. It is estimated by New York bankers tbit the surbscriDtions will not aggre gate less than $75,000,000 if the bankers in other cities’ are experiencing the pressure of Inquiries that arc pouring into this city.

Indeed, ithe In-dlcitlons ore that the bids already received - mere than cover the $50,000,000 and that arge bids are expected tomorrow fr>m New York :ind other near-by clti?s will raise the total to nearly $75,000,000. Accord ing to the official figures the pr»ce to be pjald nevt Saturday on per cent, bonds, so as to realize 3 per cent., is $110,000 in addition ta the intcicat reckoned from November 1 to the date of payment.
