Huge Loan Asked by Allies
Chief Influence in Market

NEW YORK, September 1s.-The
Anglo French commissions discussions
with fnanciers over the proposed loan
to correct exchanges occupied the larg-
est share of attention in Wall street
this week. There was at first an un-
dertone of anxiety over the fresh pos
sibilities of diplomatic break with
Germany, but this situation was viewed
with more confidence later. Aside from
the activity in war specialties, the mar
ket was dull until today, when sea-
soned investment shares were brought
forward.
The exchange commissions first an
nounced position for a billion dollars,
unsecured by collateral. disclosed at
once the likelihood of extended negotia-
tions being necessary to compromise
terIhs SO divergent from the views held
by American financiers
Depressed Grain Market.
The alternatives suggested, of resort
to other markets and drastic curtail-
ment of imports by the allies. were at
times a depressing influence in the
grain markets.
Opposition to the loan from certain
quarters was weighed as a possible
obstacle. Later. the commissions first
claims were regarded as trading po-
sition from which to make concessions.
With the proceeds of the loan limited
TO expenditures in this country, the
qui1ements of neutrality would be con-
sirered secured by the government.
Further restriction of the proceeds to
merchandise purchases, leaving NUM-
tions to be paid for by gold or re-
turned American securities, removed
aAltional objection and promised to
banking interests with German sympa-
thies. Confidence was renewed in the
ultimate success of the project, al
though exchange on London fell back
sharply.
