GETIGHTE ALOTHEN Panama Bonds Will not be Dis- tributed Till Later. ' MANY SEEKING INFORMATION Secretary Cortelyou Will Use His Judgment in Selling Where Cash Is Most Needed. Arnouncement was made by Secre- ‘tary Cortelyou that allotments had already begun of the new-one-year treasury certificates for which. sub- seriptions were invited in the circu- Jar of {he treasury department issued ‘on November 13. Allotnients of the 2 per cent Pan- ama bonds will not be made accord- ing to the terms of the circular rela- stive to them until after all bids are submitted at the close of business on November 30. The sccretary intimated that appli- cations for both bonds and certifi- cates were being received in satisrac- tory amount. but he was not preparec as vet to discuss the volume of sub- scriptions and allotments. One reason for this is understood to be .that there are so many inquir-; ies for information from persons who do not submit definite subscriptions. Another reason is that allotments « made with a certain dezree mination where it will have the best money market. discretion of the 3 wer cent “$50.000 000 will secretary in his offers of subseriptions has brought a and suggestions; somewhat they upon the The inal offer cates that foted by tion upon dressed {no him” variety of offers among which it is to choose as to thoose most tageous to the government and financial situation. certifi- Lhe al- the ad- the will embody a premium over and are of- they circular run that terin for which provision iii the fered at par.

Some of the cities where the finan- cial stringency was most severely felt a week ago have a steadily in- creasing supply. of currency, and, as a result, business in general is in a more satisfactory state. The increase in currency supply in Minneapolis has made it possible for the larz: eclevator concerns to re- sume the purchase of grain, and as a resnlt trade is assuming normal proportions, collections are moving more freely and the disturbance in money matters apparently has pass- ed.

The province of Reggio di Calabria was visited by another severe eatth- auake November 18. It was especial- ly severe at Drancaleone, Ferruzzano and Blanco, and a number of houses were shattered or damaged. The peo- ple who returned to their homes after the quake of October 27 again became panic-stricken and fled a second time to the country. Some of them. are camped in the open air, while others have taken refuge .in subterranean grottoes. Men and women, rich and poor, priests and soldiers, are thrown to- gether, and the devout are raising prayers to the Madonna and the saints to succor them in their misery. The gravity of the situation is increased by the inclemency of the weather. A second violent shock was ex- perienced in the town at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The people were thrown into a state of consternation, which was added to by the stories of further damages at Ferruzzano. UNION PACIFIC INDICTED. | Fresh.
