Withdraw th« Gold From
the fldh*Tr«u«rf.
Now Dork, Nov. 23.—'“Tihe tnibeerip-
Vivas to tHe now gjoreromeivt lotto,
wfiieai tfcje bids are opened at Wufiling-
ton, will b£ a most gnalfijfylng surprise
to lib© gKowrnuiK'uit ansj. the whole
country.” This was the Statement of
a preSkleot of a trust company, who
has boon inatnimenflEil in promoting
subscriptions to the bond issue. The
finianef.al men who aro interested in tho
movement huvc been very reticent
about the propara'tiions for the subscrip
tions and will continue bo until tho
bids are opened, for busducss reasons,
as it would defeat tti’edr awn efforts
to secure the bonds If any details ot
anuouTifs or prices wero made public.
Some facts, however, wero obtaina
ble in the aifltemoon after the close of
business, although llie veil ’of mystery
Is not altogether lifted. It is quit©
oMciln that tho Issue will bo largely
oversubscribed for, and tlio^ estimate
of the leadling bankers place the aggre
gate subscription a-t $100,000,000
over.
lit Is impossible to arrive at any Jn-
formtit/Ton as to the subscriptions of
private Investors, but tlier© are sutll-
olobt facts ait hand to caluoula.to tho
suibscrlpitiionis of the public and private
bankers, insunmoet companies and
bond bibkers In Now York olty a-t
fnotai seventy-flive' to olghlty million. dol
lars.
Two large parties will put In nggre-
gaito bids at a un'forni price. This is
the Stowurt party, In which are In
cluded the trust companies, the foreign
bankers, combined with; some large
aaplhrllals, wfliose bids will foot up
pmoticnlly $30,000,000. A second
. group of bidders includes the large gold
bolding banks, such as the Fourth Na-
tioiH.il, Cliase, American Exchange and
Nat ional Parle Banks and a number of
smaller banks, which wIH subscribe for
between, twenty and thirty million dol
lars.
The prices at -Which these two com-
bined • •bids • vrttt be tna-de are under
stood fo be on a slightly VHffereilit ba
sis. Many of 'the banks -have put !n
bids for depositors at varying prices,
according to orders. T«he bids of both’
parties are .put In individually by the
member©, tout accordinj? to a general
agreement. It 1s stated that the pTTces
offered by the Stewart syndicate Is
about 12-100 per cent, below the 3 per
cent, basis. The bid of the bankers’
party 1s reported to be on still lower
terms, and in that case the bids of the
Stewart party would (have the pref
erence. It is said Mdn from Ftoston
will aggregate $10,000,000. It Is not
known what Chicago and the West
will do In the witter of «mbBcrlntlon w ,
None of the Stewart party will pre
sent greenbacks at -the sub-treasury to
secure gold. Arrangements have been
perfected and each individual mem
ber of ihls paTtv knows where be can
lay his band© udou the gold required.
There is first tihe 'gold Inthe New York
banks 'and 1n Boston and PhHadol-
p'htir. T-hon tooro is a nb-ntiful supply
of gold In California. Which cun be ob-
t'llnf--! If (loslr.'l. t* •• ■']•</> :t pos
sibility that gold will be drawn from
Europena houses if rho syndicate ob
tains a (Cull quota of Its subscriptions.
The 'bids of tihe foreign houses form a
considerable proportion of the whole,
and In antlcipaition of their success
the foreign exchange market broke
tlv.irplv thin aft-moon on sales of »*x-
dhange by several 'bouse Interested.
There was no outside transactions in
gold today through bullion brokers.

toimorrow will &av: The features of.the
general trade for t’he week include a
marked Increase In the distribution of

Uhe prevalence of Lie opinion that the

DUN ON THE SITUATION.
Now York. Nov. 23.—R. G. Dun &
Co. 3 weekly revilaw of trade tomorrow
will eay:
There are some cfiaiiges for tho bet
ter. The gaao is slow, and in some di
rections not very distinct, but tho signs
of it are a little more definite than
last week. The most important of them
I© 1-arger emiployinient of labor, an
swering a better demand on the whole
for manufactured products. Much of.
tola is due to the unnatural delay of
erders for the winter, which are held
from long prolonged uncertainty, but
it means actual. increase In earnings
and purchasing power of til© millions,
and ©o gives 'promise of a large/ de-
niUtnd in 'the future. Prices of farm
products In the aggregate do not Im
prove, but prevailing hopefulness „
now felt in somewhat larger transac
tions. ■*
There la no improvement for com
mercial loans, and money drifts to lids
centre, scarcely any now going South
and. non© We*t.
Textile Industries have added a few
factories to the working Itet ngalrwi
only one or two withdrawn, and there
has been improvement in the* demand
for woolens. More mir.'Dlemeu'tarv or
ders for ppi*ing hive been received,
and colder weather has Increased the
demand for heavy good©. Yet. on the
•\vhole, the market is not active, and
nhe manufacture Is below th© canaritv
of works.
Prices of cotton goods are more ir
regular, and some have declined, while
print cloths have ad winced a shade.
Cheap cotton caudes much dullness.
The shoo industry leads all others In
approaching full production.
The failures for two w>vl<© of No
vember have 'been moderately largo
In amount, reported liabilities being
>6,502,303, of which $1,713,466 were of

DOOLAIN’S RAILROAD BILL.
Today was a day of new bills !n the
liouse. Among the big bills lnitpxluce<l
was on© by Mr. Doo>lau ot Chatham,
v.lilcili is likely to «ttr the legiHlaiuro
up to a ltigh pilch on ttve railroad ques
tdon.
In Mr. Doolan’s own kingiwgc, the
bill, wlijch ho presented nt the request
of the piresideuf of the Savannah board
'otf trade, is rttrentrd ngnlnst th© Honth-
onn Railway Company, Mr. iViueho of
Floyd adxo received a copy of the same
bill, wCth a requesft that ha mtro-
duoo It.
iMr. DpioHan toys tlio bill contem
plates tbit the Souithem, ns well as all
other railroad companies, shall become
a corporation under toe laws of Geor
gia, so as to bo answerable In
sUi'to courts irwtai'd of fclio federal
courts.
In further dtoraaslng th© bill this af
ternoon Mr. Doolnn said It was in|eud-
cd also to proven't the Central from
being gobbled un by tho Southern,
subjected to treatment similar to that
which It received at the hands of the
Tsnndnal, HO said the minority stoek-
holdera are not going to sit bv nnd
tho 42,009 shares held by the Danville
company made preferred and they left
In tho wet. Mr. Comer, he slid, would
likely be continued as president for u
siiort tlm© after organization, but
would then bo displaced nnd Bavanmili
greatly damaged. To prevent this, tho
bill he sent in today was prejiitred
for declaring th© control of the Contra!
by tb© Houtoern illegal.
. (Mr. Foucbe takes the view that tlio
bill is intended to declare the consoll-
datloli of tlio romln now In tlio Houtli-
ern system lllega), and force a disinte
gration also ';>o make t'he owning of
stock in a competing line by any rail
road void—kn fact, a bill similar u> tho
Olive bill that created so much trouble
for the legislature four yeans ugo.
