4 BIG RUSSIAN LOAN.

Sntd thS New YORK Itte company
Has UNDERWATER 1t.
New York, February 4.-The Press
says: 1t has been recently reported that
slO,o00,00O 4 per cent bonds of Russian
railway. the Wladlkawkas and Southeast
ern. soon will be placed upon the New
York market The bonds will have the
guaranty of the Russian government bind
ing it solidly for the company, the amounts
will be stated in dollars, The negotia-
tions for placing the bonds, IL is said, Will
be conducted by a syndicate which has
been formed by New York Life insurance
company which does business in Russia
and II is understood that the issue practi-
cally has been underwritten by this syn
dicate, thus assuring its success Pre-
sunably. If the bonds are not disposed OF
by the syndicate they will be taken by
the life Insurance company or by the 9TH
err two underwriters. Russia recently has
been unsuccessful in negotiating other
leans in Russia, Paris or London, not be-
cause OF any doubt as to the security but
because tense financial situation in these
European countries and possibly interna-
tionai politics may have interferred with
the attempt at negotiation.
