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.

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.

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.

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.
