MACHINERY OF A LOAN FLOATATION
Question of Guaranteeing; Market
d Finding that Market After
ward The I'nderwrltlna-
Syndicates.
(Ko foreign lo-.n as large as New York's
half of the $150,000,000 Japanese issue,
placed In the American market recently
has ever been floated In the United States.
Our subscription to the Japanese loans
of 1904 were respectively $25,000,000 and
$.10,000,000; last year's Cuban loan took
$J6, 000.000. Of Mexico's $110,000,000 loan
of lb&9 $25,000,000 was offered here.
The successful placing of $75,000,000 In
the new Japanese 4Vs per cents, had, there
fore, an importance apart from the ques
tion of tha eastern war and the credit of
Japan. It has caused a good deal of in
quiry, In and out of Wall street, as to
Just what steps a banking-house takes to
Introduce such loans, and how it guaran
tees against failure of the Issue.
The Initial Trading
The flrnt step of a banking house, In such
an operation, n to form an underwriting
syndicate. Every great banking house has
wealthy customers and wealthy business
connections; it must confer with them, as
to the possibility of floating the new loan
at a given price, and must be assured of
their co-operation, even before It makes its
bid. When the borrowing government
makes Its award, the successful bidder Is
bound to his contract. The recent dispute
between the Russian government and he
Tarts syndicate seems to have been
possible because no formal bid and no
formal award had been made; there was
only a general understanding. The under
writing syndicate obligates itself to take
Its contracted percentage of the loan, It
the investing public does not do so. Each
member of the syndicate gives a pledge in
writing, for a definite amount, which he
may be called upon to advance In cash
pending the sale of the securities. A mem
ber of ths Japanese bond syndicate who
tle to be called upon for all or any part
7of that amount at the option of the man
agers. In the same way, he could be re
quired to take $1,000,000 of the bonds at
the syndicate price If the securities could
Hot be placed elsewhere.
Thus there Is always a rink attending the
venture; In this, the syndicate fur a public
loan does not differ from the famous "un
I durwrltlng syndicate" of liMl and 1C In
the new Industrial amalgamations. Where
V does differ from those nowadays rather
.(credited operations is In the fart that
a government loan, or a new bond of a
long-established corporation, is a security
wfcvee market Is reasonably assured and
whose market value can be accurately
guessed at in advance. The industrial "flo
tations" of 1901 undertook very generally to
create a wholly artificial market; to es
tablish and maintain, by sheer brute force
of capital and Stock Exchange manipula
tion, prices which Investors would never
otherwise have bid; and thereby to "work
off," at relatively high valuations, not only
the preferred stock, but common shares
which had often been given away to the
promoters. This broad distinction needs
to be kept carefully in mind, when talking
of "underwriting syndicates."
Competition Between Syndicates.
It often happens that several syndicates
are formed In competition, when an attrac
tive bond offering is at hand. Ist April,
when Cuba's $.16,000,000 loan was under ne
gotiation, three or four strong New York
banking houses had representatives In Ha
vana. Each put in a bid, and the contract
was almost closed with one group of back
ers when a rival syndicate overbid it at
the last moment, and secured the loan.
In the same way last week a Berlin syn
dicate did Its best to secure the Japanese
loan. It was said to have bid a higher price
than the successful syndicate, and Berlin
undoubtedly expected to get the loan. But
the fact that Japan's two previous loans
had been successfully floated In London
and New York had, no doubt, a great deal
to do with securing the acceptance of the
English and American bid. Japan, too, It
has been explained, was willing that the
Inidon and New York bankers who had
stood by it In the Issuance of the previous
loans should clear a handsome profit on
thm one and consequently agreed to the
terms with very little hnggllng.
The chief underwriting syndicate often
organizes sniullor syndicates of bankers,
which go about to find a market for the
securities with their own clients, or buy
them outright for a rise. Sometimes these
smaller syndicates got "held up" with the
bonds after the original syndicate has dis
posed of them. This huppened a month ago
with a $75,000,000 railway bond Issue. It
was oversubscribed at the start. Expecting
to find a quick market for the bonds, nu
merous small bunking firms put In large
bids, and then had difficulty In caring for
the allotments. In the rush to realize on
these holdings, the bonds, which had gone
to a premium, soon declined below ths
subscription price, with heavy loss to the
holders. But It Is through the large and
small syndicates that a loss is finally
lodged with actual Investors, the chief
syndicate advertising the issue and se
eming as many Individual subscriptions as
possible. Generally, a syndicate is paid
a percentage oil the selling price of the
entire issue, but In the case of one recent
offering uu Ingenious device was resorted
to whereby the members received a com
mission for only a portion of the loan,
the managers taking the rest. As the
bonds went to a premium almost Imme
diately, the managing bunkers made large
profits by this ununual stipulation.
Some syndicates have never paid a dollar,
but it la customary for the managers to
call for 6 or 10 par cent of the subscriptions
to defray preliminary expenses or make
Initial payments to the borrowers. The
profit on these underwriting varies ac
cording to the securities and terms of the
syndicate agreement. The bankers who
took the Japanese loan will In all proba
bility receive $750,000 for the underwriting
alone. This Is 1 per cent on the $75,000,000
underwritten. New York Evening Post.
TABLE BIRDS VERY SCARCE
Chickens, Turkeys and Docks
Few and Far Between
In Market.
Are
The birds are awful scarce. A man with
a search warrant might find plenty of likely
poultry about the hen houses of this great
state, but he would find very little of It on
the way to the Omaha market. The poultry
handlers are paying 11 and 12 cents for In
telligent and well-developed fowls, and they
are not getting the number of acceptances
that they could wish. Half of the poultry
now being consumed from the cold storage
houses and the cold storage stock Is un
usually light also. Omaha feels this
shortage more than the seaboard towns,
where sea gull, with a little careful make
up, can pass all right in the chicken
salad and the tomales.
Turkeys and ducks are also scarce, but
then people have learned not to care for
them at Just this time. If they want
ducks there will be plenty for sale along In
May, when their laying season Is over.
The public, that being the gase, wilt have
to lay for the ducks.
The first spring chickens ought to be in
this month. They will not be from the Ne
braska hot houses, but from down south
In the land of cotton. They are said to
taste a little that way also. There Is no
doubt that the southerners are not of the
same stock as the Nebraska fowl. They
may have come over In the Mayflower they
are sometimes tough enough but they are
no Plymouth Rocks. Being rather mongrel
to begin with they are shipped to St. Louis
from Texas and other places and in St.
Louis the best of the bunch are drafted for
service there. The rest, thin and tired
from the long journey, come to Omaha and
do ths best they can at SS cents a do until
the Nebraska ehlok can deliver the tender
broil. No southern birds came In last
spring.
Yellow-legged birds are all the fashion
now, worn with parsley trimmings and set
off with dumplings. In England now they
will have nothing but whlte-sklnned fowls
and ths packing houses are at some pains
In turning out these delicate looking chick
ens. In the English markets a fat-looking
yellow-legged hen with a bucksome out-of-doors
atmosphere about her could not be
sold. On this side, however, the white and
pale bird has equal difficulty In getting a
place.

HOT FIGHT ON THE PLAINS
Sorap with Hostile Indians Tests the
Ingenuity of a Boout.
HE WAS EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
Thrilling Chapter of Border Annals
Contributed by a Frontiersman
with an Imagination to
Swear By.
This is one of the many tales of early
western experiences that I heard from the
Hps of that well known frontiersman, Jo
seph Martaln. This story was one of his
favorite yarns and he always enjoyed spin
ning It when he could And an appreciative
audience. He always resented any question
as to the truth of the story, always stoutly
maintaining that the Incident bad occurred
precisely as he described it. I tell the story
as nearly as possible in the words he used
as I remember them.
"In the early fifties," said the old man,
"me and some more fellers crossed the
plains with an emigrant train. We had a
mighty hard time, as emigrants generally
do. Our oxen were sore-footed and tired
out. All the women and children were sick
and cross. Our provisions were getting
pretty short. We' were the last train, and
pulled along until we come to what was
known as War Whoop canyon. This place
had been the dread of the train for some
time.
"We struck the canyon In the afternoon,
and as we looked ahead saw a cloud of
white smoke curling skyward. Someone
breathed 'Indians' and the word struck ter
ror to the hearts of every one In the train,
which was but a handful compared to the
outfit I expected we would run Into ahead.
We stopped and held a council of war and
came to the conclusion to go on up the
canyon as far as possible before the sun
went down and get a good place to camp.
At last the place was decided on. We un
hitched our oxen and built a fire to get
our supper.
"By this time the Indians must have dis
covered us, for Just as we were ready to
eat the air was filled with the yells of hun
dreds of them. No supper that night, you
bet. We ail forgot we were hungry, even
the oxen seemed to understand that some
thing terrible was about to happen. The
women prayed, while the children slept and
cried by turn. The men stood on guard all
night. As morning tame gloomy und cold
some of the wumen folks started to get
breakfast. The war whoops that we had
heard all night began to Increase und the
smoke up the canyon begun to roll up above
the mountain tops like a valcuno. We ate
what breakfast we could and got back to
our posts to wait and watch (or what was
to come. We could not go back, we oould
not go ahead, for our way was blocked by
Indians on all sides.
"The war hoops wers coming n(irar and
nearer. It seemed to me like all the moun
tains around were moving with Indians. An
old blacksmith by the name of Davy Jones,
who had said the least of any one, but who
bad been doing some pretty hard thinking,
suddenly came forward and cried, 'Say, you
fellers, you, whar's that old cannon I saw
yous all a toting along? Did yous ferget It
somewhnr? If yous didn't, bring It out
while I get ready to send some of these red
dlvlls to their happy hunting ground.'
" 'We haven't a cannonball left,' said
some one.
" 'Have yous any powder left, you num
skulls of fools?' answered Davy.
" 'Yes, plenty of powder.'
" 'Get the cannon and powder quick and
don't be long about It,' he yelled as he
Jumped about ordering every one In sight to
do his bidding.
" 'Here, Jack, help me here, you.' Then
diving Into one of the wagons he began to
get his blacksmith tools out and ordered
Jack to build a Are.
"Without waiting to find out where he
was going to get the cannonballs we set to
work to get the cannon out, which we did
In a Jiffy. O Lord, how we did work!
" 'What now, uncle?.' asked one of the
boys.
" 'Come here, yous rattlebrains; every
nun of yous, and help me get these wagon
tires off, you Idglts, that never think of
anything.'
" 'Ah.' he cried, as we got one off. 'Now
get the other off while I fix this one. Now,
yous work like Noah did when he tried to
rid his ship of all the animals he had on
it.'
"He grabbed the tire and put It Into the
fire, and by the time we had the other off
he had the first tire rolled up and pounded
Into a ball.
" 'Now, you heathens,' he cried, as hs
grabbed a quilt which was laying near
him, 'tramp this quill In, then the ball, and
the death dealer Is ready, and I'll be ready
with another by the time you set her off.
Now, me laddy bucks, we'll give 'em a fine
warming up this frosty morning; we'll sur
prise the redskins, the dlvlls! Just give
'em about six or eight pounds of powder;
don't be afraid yous'U hurt their feelings;
put In plenty.'
"He kept up a continuous stream of talk
as he worked, and you bet we jumped to his
muslo and was perfectly willing to do so.
Hot Work.
" 'Touch her off,' be cried, 'and by the
holy hocus we'll fix 'em right. Turn her up
the canon a little more, you gibbering 1
Idglts; get her on a level with the tree top;
now the fuse. Ah, off she goes! You dar
Un's! Wonder how they like that pill.
Whoop Hfe!" ,
"The wagon tire bullet began to unroll
and moved to the top of the pine trees like
a scythe In a clover natch. The reds were
struck dumb fur an Inwtant. Then, with
another war whoop, began to move again.
About this time old Davy had another
wagon-tire bullet rolled and we had our
cannon In working order, so we let her go
sgaln. It started off a good deal like the
first, but as It came down It came In a
horizontal position, and, In the place of
taking ths tree tops of, It was trimming
them up. I'll tell you I thought for a wblls
It was going to take all the timber off the
mountain.
"The reds began to make for a bald hill.
We were ready again.
" 'Boys,' cried Uncle Davy, who had been
standing almost breathless for a minute,
'now Is your chance. See, they are all In a
bunch; let her fly; let her go!'
"And go she did. Well, It Just seemed like
that bullet would uproot everything In
sight. It struck right among them, and as
It unrolled It commenced clipping oft their
heads, and as It fell It cut a lot of their
bodies In two.
"And then It got down among their legs.
At last It hit the ground and rolled up In
hop shape and came down the mountain
kIiV knocking reds right and left as it
went.
"The devils didn't wait for us to repeat
the dose. They took to the timber again.
" 'We won't sen any more of that outfit,'
cried Davy Jones, dancing so hard I was
afraid he would break his short fat legs.
We didn't hear any more war whoops, only
groans from the Indians with thnlr legs cut
off, and that was music to our ears.
"We put In the rest of the day making
wagon tire bullets. That night we had rest
and 'twas quiet next morning. We rigged
up a pair of wheels and fastened them on
our cannon. We started once more on our
Journey with our cannon ahead of the
train. The best team In the outfit pulled
It. When we reached California and told
of our fight and how Davy Jones saved all
of our lives, he had the reputation of being
the best Indian fighter on the plains."

NO LONGER MORAL ORDERS
Chicago Professor Gives the Ten Com
mandments n Modern
Roast.
The ten commandments and the thou
sand other moral codes, followed In vary
ing degrees by humanity since the begin
ning of the Christian era, are no longer
considered commands, according to Prof.
John Merle Coulter of tha University of
Chicago, who expressed his views on the
subject to 2rt) clergymen at the Midway
school last night In an address on "Science
as a Teacher of Morals."
Commandments he termed "scientific
truths." He does not consider the set of
moral principles contained In the command
ments or In the sermon on the mount to
be authoritative because they am com
manded, but because science hns proven
