Suspension of Interes:.

BERLIN, January 1.-THE suspension
of interest payments on the national debt
by the Mexican government caused a
heavy drop in Mexican bonds on the
bourse here today. -Four per cents led
with decline of So points.
Several bankers cabled to the Mexican
government asking for an explana tfan
but received no reply.
The newspapers express the opinion
that the situation calls for Intervention
by the European powers.
Nearly all the Mexican bonds are listed
in Germany, where the holdings are very
large especially in the south, but there
has been much unloading since the be-
ginning of the revolution. Mexico tried
to place 4 new loan in Germany In June
but the Prussian minister of finance pro-
bibited it from being listed on the bourse
and the banks concerned dropped the
negotiations.

Bank shares, which closed Yesterday 49,

else before meeting Moran in the ring,
and if the negro pugilist fails to fight
he is to forfeit the S35G03, except the
