not to be expected this season and
they have not occurred. but there is
much to admire and applaud.
Incidentally 1t may be soted that the

are surprisingly uneven. One buyer,

display a collection that prompts
lamentation over Partisan conditions

lBy Cable TO The Tribunel
Paris, Dec. 10.-All guesseS as to
the amount the loan has brought
in are premature and worthless.
Banks and other establishments of
credit are interested in keeping Sc
cret until the last day the sums
they have taken in. The loan will
certainly accomplish the primary
purpose of consolidating in a per-
manent loan advances made by the
Bank of France and temporary
loans in the form of Treasury bonds
and bonds for national defence, but
il would be an error to think that
all temporary loans will be absorbed
by the new loan, as of 8,000,0 900
francs of bonds for national de-
fence there certainly will be 2,00O,-
100000 which the holders will stick
to in order to keep proportion Of
their funds in liquid form. Besides
this. there are always some people
who want to keep part Of their re-
sources mobile.
The balance sheet Of the Bank OF
France for December 8 shows that
the gold in hand amounts to 1885,
100000 francs, an increase from
4.S77,000,000 francs on December l..
This is 100000 francs more than
the increase 70 the previous week.
Loans have progressed from
564.OO0.O00 francs on November 18
to 625.0O0.000 francs on December
8. As | have already remarked,
the interest of 6 per- cent charged
by the bank prevents borrowing at
the bank to buy in the national loan.
News from Holland tells Of heavy
subscriptions to the loan. The
journal de Geneve" says neutral
financiers know France has never
failed to keep engagements, and do
not forget that loans Of 1871 and
1872 passed par in 1874 and reached
121 in 1881.
If patriotism does not play part
in regard to the French loan in
Switzerland, the whole country, new
ertheless, realizes the chance to make
money, and the result has been that
all Swiss loans have fallen in
price. In 1910 two-thirds of the
Swiss population spoke German, and
the German-speaking Swiss in this
war have not attempted to disguise
their sympathy with Germany.
Moreover, while the Swiss govern
ment encourages the publication Of
anti-French and anti-English arti-
cles, it seeks to punish journals
which favor the Allies.
The customs administration has
now published the figures on exports
and imports for the first ten months
of the year. The loss in imports has
been little under 240,000,000
francs but the decline in exports
has been 3,193, 100000 francs.
