New York, Nov. 17.—Formal nquncement of the offering of $50,000,000 five-vear 5% per gold bonds of the Imperial government was made last night sim- ultaneously with the sending out of allotment letters to members of a na- tion-wide syndicate of bond dealers an- the cent Russian CUR OVERCOAT | | Earlier in the day about 500 local and | § cat-of-town bond salesmen attended | a meeting in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Biltmore, where they list- ened to addresses by heads of the in- | stitutions which are underwriting the bend issue. The price of the honds, made public for the first time last i night, is 94 3-4 and interest, at which i |§ i figure the securities will yield about 6 3-4 per cent. DAY We are going to sell more Overcoats today than any other store in town. Sell them with all around satisfaction to every man who buys—give him good ser- vice and still better values. C. B. Mitchell, president of the Na- ' § tional City Company, presided at the meeting, and the speaker besides himself, were Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co., Frank A, Van- derlip, president of the National City Bank; Samuel McRoberts, vice presi- dent of the bank; Grayson M. P. Murphy, vice president of the Guar- anty Trust Company; Allen B. Forbes of Harris, Forbes & Co., and Frederic ‘W. Allen of Lee, Higginson & Co. Whe bankers explained the terms of the Russian loan, and directed atten- tion to the attractive fcatures of the bonds. Mr. Vanderlip’s remarks were general in character, his main points being that this country did not need more gold, that its further importa- tlon would have the tendency of ¥ringing about inflation, and that it was necessary to extend credits to fdreign countries if we were to con- cinue to sell goods abroad. Mr. Dav- ison spoke along these lines, and Mr. McRoberts, who recently visited Rus- sia, where he completed negotiations for the first loan, told of the char- acter of the Russian people and the wonderful natural resources of the empire of the czar. At the close of the addresses, which were informal, the salesmen had an opportunity to ask questions, to which Mr. McRoberts and Mr. Mitchell re- plied. The queries were for the most part hypothetical, based upon specu- lative possibilities of what might happens as a result of the war. Bome of the questions indicated that the bond salesmen were anxious to b® posted as to what replies they should make in arguing with pros- pective investors regarding the virtues of the Russian bonds. r an rS8sCrin:6,tbokbbrS-0 § § S SH Exempt From Russian Taxes.
