LOAN IS CALLED OFF.
Present Is Considered a Bad Time to
Float 1t.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 3O.-The nego-
tiations for the new Russian loan were
definitely adjusted at a meeting Of
the fnanciers today. Both sides
agree that it would be inopportune to
place a loan on the foreign markets
until the interior situation in Russia
has changed. The parting of the
foreign bankers and NJ. Kokovosoff,
the finance minister, was entirely
amicable. the former expressing their
willingness to return to St. Petersburg
and resume the negotiations at the
minister's invitation
During the negotiations NJ. Kovo-
soft told the bankers that it was the
intention of the government to employ
the proceeds Of the loan for the
liquidation of the war expenses, the
repatriation Of the army, etc, and to
generally restore the status quo ante
bellum. There also is a tacit under
standing to place orders for warships
in the countries participating in the
loan. The foreign bankers have ar
ranged to leave st. Petersburg in d
body on Wednesday by water A
steamer has been chartered for this
purpose.
