The Russian Loan and
English Exchequer Notes

After some delay in arranging the
terms of the new Russian loan, the
American banking syndicate interest
ed in the matter has at last announc-
ed the offering of the bonds in ques-
ton. The amount involved proves to
be $50,O00,OOO, the issue taking the
form of five-year 5 IL per cent.
bonds, subscriptions for which will
be received at "a 3-4, the income re-
turn at that price being close to o
3-4 per cent These are also reports
that American bankers will probably
soon be offered an opportunity for
investment in a form Of foreign Sc.
curities different from any of the is
sues which have as yet been placed
in the markets of this country. 1t
seems that J. P. Morgan &, Co., the
financial representatives of the Brit
ish Treasury in the United States,
have opened negotiations for the sale
here of Exchequor notes OF the
United Kingdom, running from one
to six months and bearing interest at
the rate Of 4 IL per cent. per annum.
According to the reports, the notes
will be secured by an ample gold re-
serve deposited at Ottawa, and are
intended to constitute an attractive
and desirable short-term investment
for loanable funds which institutions
could not use in the purchase Of Brit
ish notes or bonds running for two or
more years.. vt is urged that these
Exchequer obligations would aid in
checking the inflow of gold and at
the same time materially assist in
the payment Of Britains purchases Of
supplies in the United States.

More Litigation
In Wake of Woes
Of Durkin & Laas

More litigation as a result Of Dur
kin & LAS troubles with the High
school contract was brought to light
today when Richard H. Murphy Of
this city was sued for $1,000. The ac-
ton was brought by the New York
County National bank of New York
city.
1t is alleged that on June 25, 1915,
Murphy was agent for Durkin & Laas
in this city. He had $1,000 in funds
belonging to that firm. The contrac-
tors gave the bank an order for $1,000
and authorized the bank to collect the
money from Murphy. Afterward Dur
kin & Laas assigned the money to the
bank but when demand was made
upon Murphy he refused to pay it..
Murphy's contention is that, he is not
sure he has the authority to pay out
the money to the bank because of the
many legal complications in the case.
The present suit is. returnable to the
December term OF the superior court

Railways Break Record
In Buying Equipment.

All high records for equipment pur-
chases by the railroads were broken
during the first three weeks of No
vember, no less than $75,754,0 900 being
involved in the orders placed for that
period for new locomotives and freight
and passenger cars. During the three
weeks, according to figures published
in to-day's Railway Age Gazette, the
railway equipment manufacturers
have booked orders for a total of 34,-
9O8 freight cars conservatively worth
$1,000 apiece, $52,362,000; 256 do
nestle locomotives averaging about
$4,000 each. $7,6S0,000; 633 foreign
locomotives worth conservatively S.
$4,000 and 416 passenger train cars
at $4,000 each, $7,072,000, total of
$75,754,000.
So far this year the American rail-
roads have ordered 123,386 freight
cars for their own use, compared with
S4,29S for the corresponding period
of 1918. Domestic orders for lomo-
tives SO far this year aggregate 1885,
COMPARED with 1923 for the same pc
Rod Of 1915.
Commenting editorially on the
equipment situation, the Railway Age
Gazette says:
For while the railroads held off
from purchasing, primarily because
they hoped for decline in prices. IL
has now become evident that no de-
cline in prices is to be looked for In
some time. They now see that they
must buy while they have the funds
and before deliveries become even
worse than they are. Those railroads
which have not already placed orders
for their requirements for many
months ahead will be further remind
ed that there is a great foreign de-
mand for equipment. Nor will they
be put at ease when they learn that
the New York Centrals orders for 23O
locomotives are for delivery in Novem-
Der, 1917. They can apparently gain
but little and seemingly have much
to lose by delaying their purchases
even a little while longer.
