$2O,O0O,O0O LOAN TO
FRANCE ARRANGED
Brown Bros. 4 Co. Said TO
Have Closed Deal for 5 Per
Cent. Acceptances.
NOT TO BUY MUNITIONS

Negotiations are believed to have been
practically completed between Brown
Bros. & Co. heading a syndicate OF New
York banking institutions. and a group
OF French financial interests for the es-
Establishment OF a loan of $40, 900 900 to
France over a week ago Brown Bros.
* Co. admitted that they were negotiat-
ing a French credit to be used for COM
mercial purposes only. TIL loan, 1t Is
understood. will take the form of ac-
ceptances, which will be discounted at )
per cent. the bankers charging "a per
cent. besides for the accepting OF the
notes. The loan Is not to be used for
financing the sale of munitions of war
to France or her allies
Although representatives OF the firm
OF Brown Bros. Il Co. were not Inclined
to discuss the probability of a speedy an
nouncement OF the loan yesterday it was
noted that several conferences were held
at the offices of J. L. Morgan & Co. be-
tween members OF the two firms. Ben
jamin Strong, governor OF the New York
Federal Reserve Bank. was also under
stood to have been called into confer
ence as to how the bills would have TO
be drawn to be available for purchase as
an investment by federal Reserve banks.
l. Is understood hat n form was finally
decided upon which will probably make
the acceptances confirm with the rules
OF the reserve act as to rediscounts and
investments.
The loan. II placed. Is understood to
be guaranteed by the Bank of France
and by the French Government and will
be secured by French treasury notes
The French bankers who will draw the
bills on the American syndicate are
understood to be the Ro~thschilds. Malloi
Freres ct Gle. and Heine ct Gle. Each
Of these houses will be responsible only
for the bills which It draws. and the
acceptances will be drawn not on the
dividual members.
Exchange rates were generally steady

Three little plays are included In
Mrs. Havelock Eliis's Love In
Danger OHoughton Mifflin Company.
Each of them has its scene In a
Cornish farm kitchen. The paren-
thetical matter describes the room
and its furn!ture-the big stove. the
copper candlesticks. the ham hanging
from the beams. the bundles OF herbs.
the red brick floor. the china dogs on
the mantelplece, and so on. The dress
of the characters, too, IL made known
to us: the corduroy Trousers, the hob
nailed boots, the clean cotton gowns
and aprons: IL amateurs wish to pre-
sent the plays they need not be at q
loss how to dress them up. From the
title If the little book It may be-
guessed that the plays are concerned
with simple and homely sentiment.
We are to see love In these kitchens.
and in order that it shall not be too
commonplace We are to find II in
danger. The event Ia true to the
manifesto. In one OF these playlets
an adoring young husband Is advised
to correct a charming but somewhat
cantankerous helpmeet by applying

purpose, but the lovely wife comes
with kisses anu "A most moving ex-
PLANTATION, and the cane is sheepishly
laid by. Another of the plays IL
charged with storm, but this il dis
slpated by the trust of a husband who
is above jealousy. In the third play
there is more Jealousy; a wife Is Jeal-
Gus Of a widow, the W talk plainly
to each other, and 1t IL interesting to
hear what they say. Happily the
| widow knows how to set matters
right; widows are often very wise.
The husband finally may be heard re-
lating to his wife how by the well
devised and sharply applied snubs OF
the widow his unhappy alteration WAS
corrected.
Hugo Won Hofmannsthal's Death
and the Fool" translated by Elisabeth
Walter Orchard q. Badger, Boston,.
has an introduction describing the au-
thor and his literary plan. He was
born in Vienna in 1874. he belongs to
the "%symbolistic school, and this little
play was published In 1898 In Art Leaf
lets, a publication the leaflets Of which
"were never to be had for money but
were given to the select few whom
genius deemed worthy" In this drama
we find claudio sitting at sunset in his
study. an apartment in the style OF
Louis XVI. He recites at length In
rhymed verse which addresses itself to
matters both objective and subjective.
As he proceeds we learn that he has
| suffered disappointment. His soul has
never understanding met the many
fond lips his have pressed. He has
never known a deep and poignant
! anguish, has never sobbing trod the
| path Of loneliness. To him comes
| Death, who IL preceded by mystic
music. A dialogue ensues. The I'M
welcome spectre submits that he

seconded from Venus and as the son

meaning Of his visit ne answers that

TRADE RETIREMENT
FACTORS MULTIPLY
Both Sentiment and Actual
Transactions Show I'M
prOvement.

Steady improvement IN the business
situation Is noted by the trade reviews.
Dun'S RcrieB says:
constructive factors accumulate. and
the International uncertainties. while
making for caution. fail to check tho
growth of confidence in the future. With
the basic influences still gaining in
strength. the outlook steadily becomes
brighter, although. apart from industrial
lines, is not rapid in any direc-
ton.
at is mainly In sentiment that the
general situation continues to reflect uni
form and substantial betterment. but In
actual commercial transactions there IL
also concrete evidence OF Improvement.
one instance of this is found in the rec
ord of bank clearings. which more fire.
auently show increases In comparison
with earlier periods, and for the current
week are 81 per cent. larger than In
1914. To some extent this liz due to tho
expansion in speculative operations at
New York. yet the gains In the totals at
outside cities indicate a broadening vol
ume of business in legitimate trade
channels.
"Other statistics are likewise more
favorable, and the considerable reduce
ton in the number OF idle cars last
month t~estifies to more active movements
Of freight.
Returns OF railroad earnings are now
less disappointing than In the past, and
expectations OF further improvement In
this respect are encouraged by the off,
cial promise Of big yields Of grain. The
latter also means much to the country
at large yet on the other hand the
South is confronted with h problem
of finding "A market for Its present and
prospective supplies Of cotton. owing to
the export restrictions imposed by the
war"
Brddstreet's says:
Factors making for expansion null
tiply. Evidence In provided by such
facts as considerable improvement In in
dustrial matters. virtually full move-
ments in finished steel. overtime work In
numerous wal order lines, smart &C.
tivity at ship yards, freer distribution
