CHINA SEEKS A LOAN.
Waits to Raise Two Hundred Mil

New York Feb. 20 There has beeh
some talk in Wall street of an attempt
by the Chinese government to float "a
loan in this country of POO millio n
dollars to meea the expenses of the
boxer uprising, topay indemnities and
and for other purposes. 1t is said
that Minister Wu has approached IL
number of bankers and has suggested
that it would be possible for the gov
ernment TO guarantee the loan by an
increase of customs above the point
of which England has a Lien.
President Stillman of the Nation al
City bank denied any knowledge of
such negotiations. Another banker
said; "When China is pacified, com-
merce is resumed and capital is as
sured of protection, it is not impro-
bahle that New York bankers might
view such loan favorably."
