WALL STREET OPTIMISTIC.
Thinks Bond 1atePest Will Ne Paid
and Huerts VIII Resign.

International bankers who are inter-
es,ed in the financing OF the National
Railways OF Mexico expressed an opinion
yesterday that the interest on the bonds
maturing April I and amounting TO about
$500. 900 would be paid In scrip. as was
the last interest payment OF the railways.
II was pointed out that President Huerta
still had n large amount OF Mexican Gov
eminent bonds which he could deposit as
collateral for the payment Of the scrip.
AZ was done last January. The bankers
are now awaiting hnal communica tons
from Mexico city before closing nego;ia-
tons
II was also reported yesterday in tho
financial district that advices to certain
OF the bankers from the Mexican capital
indicated that Huerta would step out be-
for the next elections and allow some
one else to serve as n provisional Presi-
dent. He could then become a candidate
for election and keep within the bounds
Of the Mexican constitution. II Ia well
known that Huerta would probably be
elected. as the Governors OF all the States
under his control are his appointees.
Some Of the bankers expressed an opin-
ion that such action would to a certain
extent sooth President Wilson's troubles
and allow him to save his face" as they
put II, IL Huerta was elected. AZ he could
then recognise him as the legally elected"
President.
