Expect Loan to
!. Be Popular One
Bankers Confident OF Marketing
Readily s5oo,ooo,ooo Anglo
French Bonds

New York, Sept. 20 .-Representa-
tives of many banking and invest
ment houses met today to formulate
definite program for placing on
the American market the s500,O00,OOO
joint Anglo French FIVE year bonds
soon to be issued to secure the cred
IL loan to Great Britain and France.
Such rapid progress was made dur
ing their meeting that the entire pro-
gram probably will be in shape to
make public tomorrow.
Undetermined details concern
chiefly the minimum subscriptions to
be fixed for individuals who desire
to purchase large blocks Of the
bonds at 96, the price to the syndi'
cate; the method of marketing the
bonds: the date on which they will
be offered; their listing on the stock
exchange the life of the syndicate and
the terms to be offered purchasers
who wish to pay by installments.
Upon none Of these points 1t was
said had final decision been reach
ed.
Fully so per cent of the issue in
the opinion of the president of one
of the largest banks here, will be
subscribed in New York City alone.
This would leave s200,000,000 to be
placed elsewhere. He thought that
this could be readily done, although
in his opinion, bankers in Chicago
and other middle western cities
would not subscribe heavily If at all =.
In Chicago, ne said, many bankers
who otherwise would subscribe might
be prevented from doing so by the
large pro-German element among the
depositors. Opposition had develop
ed there, he said, on the part of
certain large manufacturing inter
ests also.
Local syndicates in the chief mon
ey centers of the country will as
sumo control of the sale of bonds in
their sections. At the conclusion of
today's conference, ]. U. Morgan &
Co., sent kilograms to bankers in
about dozen cities which had not
heretofore been mentioned in con
nection with the project. These tel
egrams outlined the loan plan and
invited the recipients to join the syn
dictate.
In the light of assurances received
today, the belief prevailed among
bankers that the loan would be 6
popular one; that 1t would be largely
absorbed by investors and that tn,
proportion of the issue remaining IL
the hands of the banks would not b,
great.

Heavy Loss Of Life Feared

Mobile. Ala, Sept. 29.-New Or

ricane that demoralized communica.

OF life and property. The MISSISSIPPI
pi river levees below New Orleans

The business section of Biloxi,

train service has been abandoned be-
cause of washouts throughout large

Quarantine Removed
No Restriction on interstate Ship.
ments Of Potatoes Affected With
Powdery Seab

The department has removed the
shipment of potatoes from Maine and
from Clinton and Franklin Counties,
New York, on account of powdery
scab. This order, which took effect
on September /, was based on new
evidence regarding the disease ac-
quired through extensive laboratory
and plot experiments and field sur
veys conducted by the department.
A careful search for powdery scab
has been made throughout the coun-
try. especially in the South and the
East, where 1t is now known that
much infected seed stock must have
been planted during recent years.
The disease has been found to a
slight extent in northern Florida, but
nowhere else except in small areas
on the Pacific coast In western Ore
gon, Washington. and British Colum-
bia. No clue has been found to the
origin OF the latter infections. The
scab Is not serious there.
Experiments with potatoes infected
with powdery scab planted in the
South have yielded healthy crops.
The disease is apparently limited by
soil and climatic conditions such as
moisture, temperature, and acidity,
and 1t may be expected that 1t will
not spread far beyond the areas al
ready infected, or, II 1t does so, that
a relatively mild type OF scab will
result.
The slime mold which causes pow
derry scab (Spongospora subterannea)
is highly developed parasite, cap
able of living in potato cells for a
considerable time before killing them.
II causes gals on the roots and I'M
foreground stems as we'll as q scab
OF the tuber. 1t produces great num-
bers of spore balls, which give rise
on terminating, to a rather formless
but living and moving stage, which
move about until adverse conditions
are encountered when they form a
new wall and remain encysted till
they are able to resume growth again
This may so on indefinitely. It
seems therefore very difficult to rid
soil Of 1t. The injury to the tubers
may be aggravated by the drying out
of the tissIlas NV tho dpenar mana.
tration OF the slime mold, and by
the invasion of dry rot fungi. Lime

Meets British Expectations

nouncement OF the terms on which
the Anglo French loan Is to be is
sued in the United States was about
in line with the expectations OF Brit
fish flnanciers.
II is felt here that the advantage
rests with America in obtaining such
good rate OF interest and facilities
for its export trade, although Eng
land reaps benefit by the postpone
Iinent for at least five years of pay
ment OF the debit for goods received
Belief is expressed in banking and
exchange circles that further meas.
u'es will be necessary to bring the
exchange rate more nearly to q
FORMAL figure. 1t Is known that a
coed deal OF money is being held
for remittance as soon as cable trans
fers reach $50.
Gold is still going out and will con.
tinue to &c in payment OF munitions.
The loan now arranged will cancel
part of the adverse trade balance
but IN view Of the coming shipments
OF cotton and grain, which will swell
this balance, persons in close touch
with the exchange situation here are
OF the opinion that further action
will be necessary.
