Berlin Financiers Insist
Allies Paid a High Price
for Loan in United States

BERLIN. September 80. by wireless
to Sayville. - The Anglo French loan
which is being raised in the United
States has aroused great interest in
Germany.
Leading financiers of Berlin" says
the Overseas News Agency. agree
that although British dispatches leave
some features OF the loan in doubt, the
conditions are very unfavorable for
England and France. few years
ago no one in either country would
have thought it possible that such a
loan would be issued in the United
States at SO and redeemable in i've
years. This means that England and
france are paying about per cent
interest.

In addition to the bonus Of 2 per cent

ut Is probable that the share ao-
corded to Russia will be small. If any
part OF the loan goes to that nation,

finance Is now in London.
In some quarters 1t Is remarked that
IT the loan Is offered for public sub.

Estimate of Firms Liabilities.
In financial circles it is not believed
that the failure of A. G. Plant & Co.
will develop serious financial losses So
far as the local stock exchange is con-
cerned no open trades have been re-
ported. Most of the business OF the
bankrupt firm has been in New York
stocks. and estimates of the amount OF
losses. aside from those that NAV be
sustained by A. G. Plants immediate
family, are generally around $4,000.
1t Is probable that James E. tiffany,
whose claims aggregate nearly SO 900.
Is the largest single creditor.
At the regular session of the local
Stock Exchange today a resolution was
adopted regarding Mr.. Plants death.
