PennsyIvsn mia Company Decides
Upon New Security,

The new security to be issued by the

franc bonds recently purchased from the
French Government will be a six year

be replaced were used as collateral by
the French Government In a loan IA

In addition to this amount. however,
IL is expected that a large part Of the
remaining bonds Of the s4s, 900. 600 old
In France will be purchased. The new
issue OF notes. therefore. will be large
enough to provide for all of the franc
bonds that have been or will be bought
Kuhn, Loeb a Co, bankers for the
Pennsylvania Company, are working on
the new issue of securities. Though all
Of the details have not yet been COM
pleted 1t is understood that the new
notes will be OF the same maturity as
the franc bonds. which will he due on
June Is, 1921.
The increase of y OF l per cent. in the
inteest rate OF the new bonds over the
old does not mean an increased net
charge to the Pennsylvania Company.
This increase will be considerably more
than covered by the profit to the COM
pany on the franc exchange operation
at this time. Exchange is now ruling
at a discount of about l6 per cent. II
Is belle we'd that the details of the plan
will be announced soon.
