LOAN FOR FRANCE
Brown Bros. 4 Go. Arranging
for Another Great Credit
Here.
NOT FOR WAR SUPPLIES

Brown Bros. & Co. announced yester-
day that they were negotiating with
French institutions for the placing of a
French credit In this country to Ia
%cil!tate commercial exports. II is re-
ported that the credit will DO In the
neighborhood Of $4,000. 900. with a pos
sibil!ty that II may be greatly enlarged.
Brown Bros. & co. declined to discuss
this report. but made the following
statement:
1T II true that we have been re-
qu-sted by a number OF French institu-
tions Of ~undoubted standing to arrange
a commercial export credit. Negotiations
are now In progress, but we are not In
a position to make n announcement
Mt the present time. except to say that
the proposed credit is a commercial en-
port credit. with the double object OF
supplying the necessities Of the French
merchants and facilitating the export
Of American merchandise. and is not for
the purpose OF financing the sale Of wal
materials to the French Government"
II is understood that j. =. Morgan &
Co. and a group OF national banks and
trust companies here are In a syndicate
will Brown Bros. X TO. rs well as II
number of banks In the interior of the
country. The loan viii he in the form
of acceptanccs to be drawn by the
French bankers upon banking houses
and institutions here. The $50. 600 .000
OF acceptances. II is said. are to be dis
counted at 5 per cent. and "A commission
of y OF | per cent. is to he paid for ac-
ceptance. making the net cost prsC-
cally = per cent. Tho bills are to run
for three months and will carry tn.
privilege of two renewals. making their
extreme duration nine months.
The loan H. reported 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 Rothschilds, Mallot Freres ct Gle.
and Heine ct Gle. Each Of these houses
is to be responsible only for the bills
which II draws.
! II was emphasized yesterday by
Brown Bros. & Co, that the loan would
be for the purpose of supplying the needs
Of French merchants and not for the
purpose Of financing the sale Of war
materials TO the French Government. 1t
is probable that the American institu-
tons accepting these bills will not make
any extensive offering OF them in the
opel market. II IL believed that they
will hold them In their vaults ~ a means
of employment for funds which are now
lying idle.
This Is the third arrangement OF this
character to be concluded IN this country
with France for tho purpose of offsetting
the depreciation in exchange on PARIS.
The first was the sale in this country Of
some $40. 900. 600 Of French Treasury
notes by j. T.. Morgan e. co. The
second was contaminated only a short
time ago n consisted Of the liberal OK
tension Of credit to France through an
