CURB DEMAND DROPS,
DUE TO GUARDS CALL
Motors Are Weakest When
Nearly Everything Sells at
Lower Levels

NEW YORK. Juno 19-There was a
lack Of demand for usually active issues
on the Broad street Curb today which
could be directly attributed to the news of
the calling out of the National Guard for
service along the Mexican border
Nearly everything traded in showed
lower levels. with the motor stocks the
weakest features Chevrolet breaking from
23s to 223 and United Motors selling down
from as to 72Is MidvaIe Steel which
showed n strong tone last week also was
under pressure. falling from 65 to %. and
Atlantic Gulf and West indies, which
opened at 68, dropped TO 66h.
Kathodion Bronze was about the only
important exception to this declining ten
dency That stock continued In good de-
mand, selling at 25ia and 26.'
The oil stocks were quiet, shading off
slightly under small sales. and slight re-
cesslons we're also noted in the mining
stocks United Zinc which has taken over
the Kenefick properties, was dealt in for
the first time, selling at II and 10h.
good part of the selling of the general
list was by professional traders. but the
supply in the motor stocks could be traced
TO some outside interests that had been
induced to buy the Chevrolet and United
issues on freely circulated predictions of
violent advances being in prospect from
the high levels at which they had sold a
couple of weeks ago.

RRANGEMENTS FOR NEW
FRENCH LOAN NEARLY READY
Announcement Soon on $1OO,O0O,O0O
Credit for Use in American Purchases

NEW YORK, June 19.-While definite
details have not yet been determined in
connection with the proposed 100000 900
loan to France by a group of American
banking interests, 1t is stated that very
little yet remains to be accomplished before
the matter will be arranged and public an
nouncement made
The new company that is being formed
to hold the securities which have been
corralled by the French Government, WIN
issue it's own securities against the loan,
the same to be offered to the American
public for subscription on a basis to yield
slightly better than five per cent. 1t was
stated this morning that the transaction
differs somewhat from that of the 5000,
900 Russian loan which has just been
closed and fully subscribed in that there
will be a public offering of the $100, 100000
issue The success of the Russian loan
is expected to have an important bearing
on the French undertaking and the bankers
predict that the entire amount will be
quickly absorbed The Russian loan was
more of a banking transaction than other.
wise.
1t is stated that the French loan will
carry a stipulation that all of the money
realized from the sale of the securities will
be spent in this country in paying for
purchases by the French Government in
American markets With a continuance of
hostilities in Europe, II is evident that the
Allied interests in Europe will be heavy
purchasers of American products, and it is
to meet these obligations that the Russian
and French loans have been arranged.
Expectations are that further large
amounts of gold will be sent to New York
from Ottawa, estimates placing the ulti-
mate total on the present movement at from
500. 900, 900 to $3.50 900. To date more
than $4,000, 900 has been received and has
been utilized in liquidating call loans that
had been extended to the account of the
Allied interests abroad in recent weeks.

Lamar has again been visited by
her old friend, the check artists. 1t
seems that they strike this place like
any other pest or plague in epidemic
form and at regular intervals. A
couple of well dressed men worked
the town and country last week as
representatives of the Colorado Live
Stock Insurance Co., and left trail
of bad checks behind them. Two Of
these were passed on II. G. Lamson
and r. E. Sanford and were for $40
each. Not approaching the joke they
swore out warrants and Sheriff Down
ing nabbed one of the parties, H. G.
Clark-at least that was the name he
gave, at La Junta. He was brought
back here and is now making des-
perate efforts to settle and keep out
of the pen. The other is reported to
be under arrest at Denver, and will
be brought back also.
