HOW TO SELL
RUSSIA'S LOAN
700 Bond Statesmen Re-
hearsed by Bankers in
the Arguments

Seven hundred bond statesmen as
sembled at the Biltmore Hotel yester-
day were rehearsed in the arguments
to be used in the marketing of the
loans of foreign governments, espe-
cially the new s5O,O0O,OOO unsecured
Russian loan, which is to be offered
publicly early next week by banking
syndicate consisting of the National
City Company, the Guaranty Trust
Company, Lee Higginson g. Co., and
Harris, Forbes E. Co. The bonds will
bear 81 per cent interest, but as they
will be sold at 94$., the yield will be
approximately Ga per cent.
The principal speakers were Henry
p. Dawson, Of the Morgan firm, and
Frank A. VANDERBILT. president of the
National City Bank In dwelling or
the reasons why the coming Russian
Offering should be sold easily, they
emphasized, as they have on previous
occasions, the necessity of making
new foreign loans to prevent danger
Gus credit imitation through further
accumulations of gold from the Golfers
Of Great Britain and her allies.
Other speakers were G. NJ. p. MUIR
ply, first vice-president Of the Guar
anty Trust Company; Allen b. Forbes,
of Harris. Forbes & Co.; Samuel Nc
Roberts, vice-prcsident OF the National
City Bank; Frederick W. Allen, of Lee
Higginson E. Co., and +. s. Sweeney, of
Harris. Forbes g. Co. c. f. Mitchell
president OF the National City Com
pany. presided at the meeting and also
gave q talk
The new Russian loan will be the
first that country has attempted to
float in the United States unsecured
By anything save its general credit A
previous S50,000,000 loan was secured
by deposit of rubles in Petrograd The
official circular of the issuing group
of bankers points out in this connec-
ton, however, that the purchaser of
the new bonds has form Of security
in the provision for their payment a.
maturity either in dollars or in rubles
at the existing rate of exchange.
The bonds will be distributed
through the medium of dealers syn

Reserve system, and as modern IN
stance referred TO the neglect OF Con-
gress late last spring to take up the
railroad situation after it became OBJ
vious that the brotherhoods and the
roads would not come to an agreement
and despite the fact that commercial
bodies throughout the country urged
Washington to start an investigation
that might form the basis for arbitra-
ton.
This representative of big shipping
interests expressed the opinion that II
the new controversy over the inter-
probation of the Adamson law became
acute or if a strike were inaugurated
early in the new year great impetus
would be given the agitation for gov
eminent ownership, and that under the
latter the second state of shippers
would be worse than the first.

bination in restraint of trade and IN
violation Of the Sherman anti-trust
law in an opinion handed down IN me
United States District Court last June.
The formal order for the dissolution
Of the concern was filed this week
The defendants have 100 days in which
10 formulate a plan. In the meantime
there have been unconfirmed rumors
that arrangements might be made for
paying off the 20 per cent in back divi-
bends on the 9,S26,867 Of per cent
cumulative preferred stock. Earnings
on the $40, 777,3 1873 of common were at
the rate of 697 per cent in the nine
months ended September, compared
with 2.17 per cent in the full year Of
1915. No dividends have ever been
paid OF the common stock.

Steel products have more than
doubled in price in the last twelve
months. The average price of eight
products statistically compared by
Dow. Jones g. Co. is Stops per ton,
against S35.45 a year ago. The rise
in the last few days has been the
most rapid of the whole movement,
and, as "The Iron Age" says, the
higher prices go the easier 1T is to
advance them further. So violent a
rise for basic industrial products
means that the price has failed to
stimulate the supply in proportion
to the demand. Production is touch
ing. or has already touched, definite
physical limits but prices may go on
rising. The Peoples National Bank
of Pittsburgh speaks calmly Of the
inability to increase output. 1t is
owing to the scarcity of fuel, trans
portation and labor. The 3OO-ton
Niles blast furnace of the Carnegie
Steel Company a Youngstown has
banked its fires ant stopped produc-
ing, for want Of fuel. Our Pittc-
burgh correspondent reports that
unless relief is quickly forthcoming
several of the largest plants in that
district will have to close down for
the same reason. But where is re-
lief to come from? Cars cannot be
improvised out of air. Materials
fuel. transportation and labor are
required TO build cars. and the com
panies that produce the materials
have to curtail their output for want
of the other three things.

Paris. Nov. 16.-The railroad sit
uation in France has arrived at
point where the roads have asked
permission to raise rates, both
freight and passenger. Since the
beginning of the war the losses OF
the state railroads have been &c.,
600 900 francs, while the other roads
have lost 79O,O00,000, and all indi-
cations are that next year they will
be nearly double the losses of last
year.
At the same time that receipts are
going down, expenses are increas-
ing. Coal, rails. oil, grease and wood
all are much higher, and the roads
see no hope unless they are allowed
to increase their rates.
Contractors who accepted con-
tracts for public work also are in
trouble, having made contracts at
fixed prices for long terms, and not
taking into consideration the posi-
bility of war. They now find them
selves faced all around with jim
creased prices, which spell ruin for
them. Coal, for example, is up 300
to 400 per cent, steel is up 200 to
300 and certain structural shapes
1000 per cent.
There is a lack of workmen, ac-
companied by increases in pay.
Companies will demand a revision
of contracts,
