PLANNING TO LEND CARRANzA 50 MILLIONS
New York Bankers Have Practically Agreed to Finance the De FactO
 Government of Mexico.

New York bankers are planning to lend $50,000,000 to the Carranza gov ernment of Mexico, according to a special dispatch to the Manufacturers Record from it's New York cores pendent. Preliminary negotiations, says the Manufacturers Record, "have reached the point where the granting of the loan seems assured, and ac- credited representatives of Mexico are
 in New York to complete the tran saction. ts,e ''1~A a''=' --"
 "It is believed that the money will be available for use by Mexico in January As it. is expected to mark the beginning of the rehabilitation of Mexican industry, it is of especial in terest to the South and Southwest.
 "The Mexican government is to use the 5O,00O,O0O in American gold as reserve fund to guarantee an issue of paper money which will aggre- gate nearly $150,O00,O00 to be put out by the Central National bank.
 '"This new bank is to be establish ed by the Carranza government to re- rlace the state banks which hereto fore here issued paper money. In the future this function will rest with tho Central National bank.
 "To secure the loan Mexico will give the reserves of the present state banks. which are to be taken over by Carranza. These, amounting to $4l ,OC0,0GO United States gold, will be supplemented by stamp taxes
 Bankers informed of the plans for financing Mexico regard them of spe- cial importance. Their successful outcome will mean much to the big American railroad systems which have built into Mexico, as well as to the American lines running south to tho border or. to Gulf ports.
 Ut will also help greatly to bring about re-establishment of profitable bus mess relations between Texas and the other states most concerned in Mexican trade Most of all, it is ex- pacted to prove great factor in re- storing to normal the large American interests in Mexico which were prac- tically ruined by the republics years ct internal Strife."
