At least two Harrisburg banks, the
Mechanics Trust Company and the
Union Trust Company, will handle
large slices of the $3.50, 900. 600 which
the American underwriting syndicate
is to furnish Great Britain and France
as credit to stabilize foreign ex-
change.
Two other institutions, the Harris
burg Trust and the Security Trust
Companies, are considering subscrib-
ing, but have not yet reached a def
mite conclusion.
THE bonds are very popular" said
c. A. Kunkel. president of the Me-
chsnics Trust, this afternoon, "and
will be oversubscribed within a short
time"
The Mechanics Trust will handle its
share in denominations of $500 and
$1,000. 1t is believed the other banks
will handle bonds in similar amounts.
The lean is being negotiated through
j, p. Morgan & Co., in New York.

that $430, 900 of the half billion
was on the books of the syndicate
