VISITING BOARD ARE JOCKEYS

New York, Sept 16-The proposed
billion dollar loan to Great Britain
and France shirvelled today in the
gossip of Wall street half its pre-
yiohs size.
Five hundred million dollars was
the sum set as the amount which Am
erican fanciers would lend This fig
ure seemed to be uniform in half a
dozen or more reports current in the
financial section. At least one iinan-
cer in close touch with the situation
was quoted as saying that this sum
would be loaned. The commission it.
self and it's American financial aides
had nothing to say as to this phase.
In some manner not understood to-
night the situation was different from
the situation yesterday. There was
an almost unanimous opinion among
bankers whose views could be obtain
ed that a billion dollars was not need
ed and that in naming this vast sum
at the outset the commission sought
to place itself in an advantageous
trading position.
Here is the way some financial au-
thorities regarded the situation:-
The commission asked for billion
dollars. 1t did not expect to get the
full amount. TO this request bankers
would naturally make counter-offer
say half a million. There would
then follow series of parleys.
The commission would reduce the
amount by 50,000,o0 to 100000 900
and the American bankers would add
a few handfuls OF millions to their
previous offer After a period of ne
gDtiations they would reach com
mon figure, say by splitting the differ
ence. This would then be agreeable
to beth sides and definite terms as TO
the interest rate of the term of the
loan and other details could be fairly
quickly disposed of.
The men who have come oyerhere
from Great Britain and France, in the
opinion of Wall street, are master
players in the game OF world finance
iike all good players, they do not be
tray by their words what their inten-
tions are nor do they place all their
cards on the table at once as Wall
street views it. Consequently, it is eX-
pected that there will be many more
developments before it will be seen
what they are really striving for and
whether they will win.

although, of course, It did not prove
conclusiyely that they were destined
for an enemy of Great Britain.
One circumstance throwing light on
the real destination of the goods, Sir
Samuel said was that the expectation
of lard by one American company
alone to Copenhagen in three weeks
after the outbreak of the war was 20
times more than in periods of peace.
As to tins of canned meat, he said. it
had not been shown that they had
been sent to Denmark in any great
quantity before the war, yet hundreds
of thousands were on the way when
the vessels were captured. These
tins. ii seemed, could not have been
meant for any persons other than Ger
