to be Withdrawn from the loan and pur-
chased from the French pressges. In the
opinion OF prominent bankers, similar
purchases to be made.
Though II could not be learned off,
cially whether negotiations are now GO
ingo on with the French Government and
Its bankers for the arrangement Of an
other loan backed by American securi-
ties as collateral. Il was believed yester-
day In Wall Street that as soon as the
French Government financial authorities
can gather together another large block
OF American bonds. such a loan will
Immediately be arranged.
American bankers W made II plain
to the officials Of the allied govern
ments that wherever standard American
securities are available for collateral
pledges, loans on them by this market
will be Immediately forthcoming. The
actual purchase of the bonds Is the next
step. 1t Is believed that wherever loans
are made on American securities the
final outcome OF the transactions will

MERCANTILE MARINE.
PLANS DENOUNCED
Stockholders Meet to Voice Op-
position to Levy on the
Shares.
RECEIvERSHIP AssAILED

A meeting OF tho minority stock,
holders Of the International Mercantil,
Marine Company who are organizing q
campaign against the proposed assess
ment of $3.50 per share on the common
and preferred stock Of the company was
held yesterday at l20 Broadway
Stock to the amount OF about 10000
shares was represented at the meeting
Of which $4,000 shares were represented
In person and the remainder by telephone
messages or letters. All OF the stock
holders present voiced a strong protest
against the proposed reorganization
plans proposed by the bondholders Of
the company.
Henry s. DE Forest, a former men,
Der OF Congress and q holder Of several
thousand shares of International Mer-
camille Marine stock. look inactive part
at the meeting In opposing the proposed
reorganization plans Of the company.
Mr.. De Forest said:
There was no reason for throwing
he company into the hands of "a re-
ceiver at the time this action was taken.
The earnings for the fiscal yea 1914
covered all fixed charges and left a
balance. In the first six months Of
1915 net earnings of over $1,000, 600
were reported. after ss,750,00 had been
set aside for depreciation. A company
which Is earning at the rate Of $780,
900. 900 a year on s5l, 200, 600 preferred
stock should not be In the hands OF a
receiver at all.
The proposal Of the bondhoiders to
assess stockholders s2.5O per share Is
outrageous. l believe In taking action
TO put the control OF the company back
in the hands Of the people who own it
the stockholders. On the basis OF pre-
vaiiing earnings not only could all in
terest charges be met, but dividends be
declared on the present preferred and
common stock"
As some of the stockholders who
had been heard from were unable to
be present at the meeting IL was voted
that the meeting be adjourned until Au-
gust 20. In the meantime IL was voted
to get In couch with the other stock
holders committee. formed about a

The September deliveries In the varr.

fractional advances yesterday. Unfay-

ing and transporting of the new winter

was evident that many In the trade re-
garued the supply and demand situation
as fundamentally bearish because of the
prodigious wheat yields in North
America.
An official estimate given out yester-
day placed the exportable surplus I'm
