cluded from the present loan syndicate.
Oh tho other side, one Of the interested
parties says the Sc is in the hands of

The Post says there is no trouble at
all in the present syndicate loan. The

Of some speculation III Wall street The
bonds are at par and even slightly
above par, and the proposed funding Of
Elk per cent bonds in four per centum
bonds will not be in the least affected
by the present condition Of things

prcssly asserted that their personal diff
