Negotiations are said to be under
contemplation for a new French loan
that may aggregate 100000. 900. and
certainly will not he under 100000
900. Representatives of the French
government declare that negotiations
have not been taken UP as yet while
other authorities state that there is
difference between the parties at in
terest over the collateral back of the
proposed loan.
There still remains s4o.000.000 of the
Anglo-French loan to the credit of the
French government. and the repre-
sentative of the latter asserts that
France has still many means of rails
Ing funds. one of which is the sale of
mobilized American securities. There
are millions in American bonds and
preferred stocks. highgrade invest
ments, held in France, which. with
some South American issues, probably
will form the collateral required.
