Mexico Can't Borrow
Here, Bankers Say
Would Want More Than
choral Endorsement" as
Security for Loan

Despite reports that this govern
ment will indorse loan to Mexico by
American bankers, opinion in the
financial district yesterday was that
no advance to the Carranza govern
ment is a probability of the near
future. Bankers said that they want
ed more than the "moral indorse-
ment" of such a loan, particularly in
the face of the expected heavy de-
mands on their resources from the
flotation of the second Liberty Loan
and from other quarters.
If Mexico must have money at pres
ent, bankers here say it is up to the
United States government TO provide
it from its own borrowings. This
might be done, it was suggested. if
assurances we're TO be given by Car
rama and his supporters of their 10y

Should the burden of financing Mex
leo be placed on the shoulders OF
American bankers, il was stated, the
Mexican government would necessarily
have TO pay much higher for the
money than If il borrowed from the
United States government direct. II

Leading Italian
Bank Will Open
A Branch Here
Plans to Finance Trade
With u. S.; Others May
Follow Its Lead

Arrangements have been practically
completed by the Banca Commercials
Italiana, one of the largest commercial
banking institutions in Italy, TO estab-
lish branch in this country. l..
Toeplitz, who represents the Italian
institution, stated yesterday that the
branch bank would be opened in New
York City probably within the next few
weeks. Mr.. Toeplitz has charge OF ar
ranging all the details.
The chief object of this move on the
part of the Italian bankers is said to
be the financing of trade between TINS
country and Italy. This Will be done
by placing credits at the disposal OF
importers and exporters.
To Stabilize Exchange
II enough of these credits are estab-
lished the effect, according TO foreign
exchange experts, will be to help sta
Billie rates of exchange on Italy, which
nearly ever since the war broke out
have shown a declining tendency owing
IN the heavy balance of trade which
the United States has been piling up
against LndL COuHllg III wv
commercial transactions, aside from
war purchases. -,
Other large Italian banks, it is said
NAV follow the example set by the
Banca Commercials Italiana, in which
case they would be able to transact
through their own branches much OF
the business which is now handled by
American banks acting as representa-
tives.

New York Railways Company.-lt
was announced yesterday that holders
of the adjustment income bonds VIII
receive no interest on their holdings
for the six months ended June 80 last,
as the funds for this purpose fell short
of the requirements. Failure OF the
company to earn its interest require
ments is attributed to the strike Of en-
ployes last fall, which resulted in
large amount of traffic being diverted
TO the subway and elevated lines. Some
of this business, it is stated, has never
returned to the surface line.
Mexican Petroleum.-The stock OF
this company was strong yesterday, IN
an otherwise declining market. Open
ing at 97A. an overnigh ut advance OF
IL, it reached high price Of lOl, and
closed az 100A, net gain for the day
of 4A points, on turnover oil more
than $4,000 shares. Brokers attributed
the sudden rise to the announcement
from Washington that the government
would look with favor on any EFFORTS
of bankers to finance the needs OF the
Carranza regime. Inquiry in banking
circles, however, found little encour-
agement for belief that any loan to
Mexico is likely to result from the
changed attitude of the Administration.
On the contrary, there were very def
mite statements that bankers here at
least would undertake no Mexican
financing without the absolute guar
antee of this government. The gem
eral opinion was that if Mexico should
secure a loan in this country it would
have to be from Washington direct.

Hoover Plans to
Control Worlds
Trade in Sugar
Proposal to Open Exchange
in Cuba Meets With
Opposition

A report gained currency in Wall
Street yesterday to the effect that some
Of the leading sugar interests in Cuba
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
opening a sugar exchange at Havana
for the purchase of trading n futures.
Brokers identified with the Coffee
and Sugar Exchange expressed the
opinion that such a move would meet
with a most emphatic protest on the
part of this government.
at is the plan of Mr.. Hoover" said
George W. Lawrence, president Of the
exchange, ito have this country control
the sugar trade of the world. What
those plans are | cannot reveal, but
am sufficiently informed as to the Food
Administrators intentions to feel posi-
tive that he will succeed in carrying
cut his intentions"
Members of the exchange stated that
they did not believe brokers who
have been active in the sugar market
would have anything to do with any ex-
change which might be organized IN
Cuba, even if there were no restraining
influence other than motive OF pa
triotism.
Arrangements for liquidating open
contracts have not yet been decided on
but Mr.. Lawrence state yesterday that
he did not anticipate any difficulty on
this score.
The committee representing the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchange which
conferred with Herbert c. Hoover in
Washington on Monday made the fol
lowing report yesterday to the board OF
managers:
at is the desire of the Food Admin
istrator that no further business in
sugar futures be entered into for the
duration of the war and that all out
standing contracts be settled as speed
ily as poSsible"
