Loans to Chinese
Government Will
Total 500, 100000
Four Advances of $25,OOO,.
600 Are Planned; Thirty
American Banks to Par
ticipate in the Financing

The Chinese government, under the
terms Of the tentative agreement drawn
up at the Paris conference by the four
power group, consisting of Great Brit
ain, France, Japan and the United
States, is to obtain an aggregate Of
$100,00O,0o0 from a series of loans to
be foated in the Allied countries, &C
cording to information received yester-
day by members Of the American bank
ing group active in the negotiations.
While details Of the Chinese inanc-
ing remain to be worked out, it Is un-
derstood that the programme involves
the arranging Of at least four separate
loans, Of $25,00O,OO0 each, to be ne
gotiated from time to time according
to Chinese requirements. The terms,
including the maturity and the rate of
interest to be charged the Chinese gov
ernment. will be determined at bank
ing conferences Of the Allied groups
after the peace treaties have been
signed.
countrywide. syndicate of more
than thirty American banks will ham
die the portion Of the Chinese loans
TO be allotted to the banking group in
the United States. Wall Street will
probably be represented in the syndi-
cate by the National City Bank, the
First National Bank, J. P. Morgan g.
Co., the Guaranty Trust Company. the
National Bank Of Commerce, and Kuhn.
Loeb & Co.
Also included in the syndicate will
be three St. Louis banks, three Chi
cago banks, two Boston banks, two
Philadelphia banks and two Pittsburgh
banks, and at least one each in Mime
apolls, San Francisco and other West
ern cities Of less Importance
Japan planned originally to grant
China loan Of $15,000,00o, 1t is under
stood, but the negotiations, which were
carried on many months ago, were
broken off after meeting with opposi-
tlon in Great Britain and the United
States. The Japanese loan to China
was to be secured by giving the Japa-
nese a monopoly on the tobacco busi-
ness in China, which brought protest
from the American and British tobacco
interests doing business in China. The
four-power group loan, to be made
shortly, will provide China with the
funds that the government had ex-
pected to obtain from Japan, and at the
same time furnish capital for use in
the development Of the Chinese rail-
roads and other basic industries.
1t ls expected that the bulk Of the
money furnished to China under the
new loan agreement will be obtained
IN the United States, in view of the
stronger financial position Of this
country. 1t has boon stated on excel
lent authority that, temporarily at
least, the French share of the Chinese
loan will be taken by the Anne rican
group.

New Low for Francs

In a further sharp decline yoster-
day francs fell to 6.293a to the dol
Lar, compared with a parity of 5.1sA
francs to the dollar. This is the low
est quotation for francs during the
war period. The discount of about 20
per cent means that Americans can
buy French goods at about 80 cents
on the dollar, while it will cost French
men about $l.25 to buy a dollars
worth of American goods, not includ-
ing ocean freight charges and insur-
ance. Such handicap, unless soon
corrected by credits or other means
is menace to our exports to France.

Superintendent A. Holmquist of the chamber of commerce gardens committee writes the following about this seasons pests:
 Several inquiries have been re- ceived recently regarding the squash borer and the striped cucumber bettIe. The squash borer usually lays its eggs the latter part of June and not being particular where they are laid, may be found on most any part of either squash or pumpkin vines Upon matching the lavae bores into the base of the stem and starts feeding, eventually causing the vines to wilt and die.
 Keep a close watch of your vines during July and August. One of the surest signs of this pest is sawdust or deposits of ezcrement found near the base. Take a knife and slit the stem of the vine lengthways until the borer is found, then kill him. Ii . the vine has not been wilted 1t will
