NEW FRENCH LOAN
FOR $25,0O0,000
Commercial Credit Guaranteed
by the Bank of France.

France has further augmented her
purchasing power in this country by
arranging with Brown Brothers & Co.
a commercial credit of s25 200, 900. The
official announcement issued yesterday
said that the loan is guaranteed by the
Bank of France and is for the purpose
of facilitating the export of an equiva-
lent amount of American merchandise
and other commodities.
The credit is for period OF one year
and IS to be availed Of by ninety day
sight drafts. 1t is secured by collateral
held in New York, and payment in gold
here at maturity is one of the features
of the guarantee by the Bank of France.
The purpose of this credit, like that
for $2O,0O0,O00 extended by the same
banking firm a year ago, is to enable
American exporters to be paid in dol
lars in the United States, eliminating
any risk of exchange.
hAcIusiVe OF us share of the $780,
100000 Anglo-French loan France has
now borrowed in the American market
since the beginning of the war about
S25O,oOO,OOO. OF this sum s75, oOO, 900 has
been in the form Of commercial or ac-
ceptance credits. The borrowings of
all foreign nations in this country for
the last two years are now placed at
81 ,625, 900 900.

building trades for twelve months, ex-
cept for munition purposes, have prac-
tically been stagnant, but there are In
Bradford several warehouses and works
in course Of construction which may

As 10 the future OF the building

Cotton

After starting lower, cotton prices
rallied sharply and went to new high
levels for the season, retaining most OF
the advance TO the end. Lower Liver
pool advices and slight Improvements
in the Southwestern weather prompted
many holders 10 sell at the outset. AZ
Fort Worth, Tex, there was rainfall OF
over two inches, and precipitation was
reported at other points in that state
and in Oklahoma. There was also
material drop in the mercury. Inc
subsequent buying, including larger or
ders for outside account, forced an al
vance of over 80 points. Demand was
prompted partly by the belief that IN
MANY parts of the Southwest the crop
had been injured too severely TO De
helped much by rains now. The poor
prospects in that section were again
alluded TO in the weekly weather re-
mort. while Eastern belt conditions were
described as improved, but still un-
satisfactory. October contracts again
led the advance, with spot interests ana
foreigners buying. Because Of the poor
crop outlook it is claimed that planters
will not sell freely for forward deliv-
ery. and hence there is no pressure IN
cash markets, where prices are hrmiy
maintained.

Wheat.-Wheat prices did not sue
coed in getting very far either
wav Yesterday. They started lower,
rallied sharply in the morning, and for
the balance Of the session moved up
and down within a narrow radius,
Final prices showed no material
changes from the previous day, with
the exception of September contracts in
Minneapolis. which showed a net gam
of about one cent. This reflected a
brisk demand in the cash market at ad-
yaucing prices. With the new crop
wear less than two months old, the high
level of values tends to check general
speculation. The market has advanced
roughly, 80 cents on news such as was
received yesterday, and shrewd traders
feel that new factors must be forth
coming For that reason no one seems
willing TO remain on the long SIDE LOT
any length of tina. Neither does any
one care 10 follow the declines TO any
extent, largely because It has been DIS
covered that foreign buyers become &C
tive on all noteworthy breaks. AS re-
suit most of the trading was Tor quick
turns and small profits. Liverpool al.
vices encouraged early buying, some OF
which was said 10 be for foreign ae-
count. Ii was also noted that some Of
Tuesdays heavy sellers bought yester,,
day. Evidently those holders who had
taken their profits saw chance to load
up again on safer level. Exporters
including shippers 70 Greece and Bel
gium, also bought fair quantities IN
cash markets at firm prices, but In the
main domestic buyers were paying more
and getting most Of the offerings. The
80. or,ar,, cron damage complaints and
reduced estimates were received from
Canada, while the combined yield of
Minnesota and the Dakotas was esti-
mated at 97,000,0 900 bushels. This IS
better than Shows estimate Of $1,000
600 bushels, but is 3S,000,000 smaller
than the governments latest indica-

Oats.-After an unchanged opening
oats averaged higher, but only small
gains were shown at the finish. Ar
rivals are still large and stocks are ac-
cumulating, but a good demand, partly
for export, prevented a break in cash
markets. Holders sold for profits, but
new buyers took the offerings on the
ground that oats are the cheapest grain
on the list. Numerous complaints Of
damage by the recent frost were re-
ceved from Alberta and Saskatchewan.

BURNING SHIP TO SHORE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. IL
Fire broke out in the after hold Of
the steamer Beaver, bound from Port.
land for San Francisco when off the
coast forty miles from here yesterday
and was smothered under battended
matches, while the vessel raced to this
port.
When the hole was opened at the
dock, thirteen hours later, smoke pour.
ed out and four sailors were overcome
While trying to reach the blaze.
Last night the flames were under
control. Officials of the San Fran
cisco and Portland Steamship Compa-
ny, owners of the vessel, said the loss
might reach $4,000, and was con-
fined to the cargo.
There was no panic among the 153
passengers. Smoke seeping up thru
the staterooms aroused MANY wbo
were asleep and brought all on deck.
They were told to make ready to leave
the ship should it be necessary, and the
lreboats were uncovered. Later
when immediate danger was passed.
coffee was served the passengers on
deck.
The fire was discovered when the
Beaver was a few miles south of
Blunt's Reef, where its sister ship,
the Bear, lies on the rocks, into which
it jammed itself last July with a loss
OF several lives.

IS equally as bad as hog cholera.
Buzzards are likely to carry anthrax
from Northern Arkansas into Mis-.

"Shoot the buzzards and then burn

"Most people in Missouri think
