RUSSIA ALSO AFTER LOAN

An acceptance trade credit TO the
italian Government to pay for supplies
bought In this country was reported
In the financial district yesterday as a
matter which is being discussed by New
York bankers with Italian representa-
tives. Prominent bankers who would
have been approached on this matter
said that such u loan Is a matter to be
arranged In London rather than here.
The arrangement OF n large oar here

yesterdays not looked upon as a likely
thing until the matter is taken up
through London. About two months
ago a credit for Italy here was talked
of. but little was done.
The view is expressed here that Italy,
In entering the war on the side of the
Allies received the guarantee OF Great
Britain az TO its finances. Londo Is
therefore the first TO look after any
loan that Is now regarded as necessary
for Italy In this country. Undoubtedly
"A credit OF some kind for Italy here will

Wheat prices made a strong upward
movement and closing quotations were
