Bankers Nearing
Agreement on
Belgian Loan

Negotiations for a Belgian loan. which,
been resumed. have made sufficient
progress to justify the prediction that an
announcement regarding them is within
the possibilities in The near future.
Bankers composing the Belgian group
have not agreed upon terms or amount of
the loan. Some of these bankers believe
that the public would not buy an offer
ing larger than $1o.0000o0 to SIS, 900 900, and
argue against the suggestion that the size
of the issue be fixed at $50, 100000 A COM
promise between these two extremes is
likely. AS told in the HERALD, the Bel
gians want somewhere around $75 900 OOO
TO $100.000,0o0. But they understand the
investment market here better than they
did some months ago. and probably will
accept any figure which local bankers de-
termine.
The question Of rate is another point at
issue. The Belgian loan which fell
through last October would have cost Bel
sium rs per cent. If the present nego-
Stations are concluded successfully the
csst Of the loan will be considerably high
or. IL may be around 71s per cent
Bankers consider Belgian bonds good
risk because Of the remarkably rapid re-
covefy Of Belgium from the ravages Of
war Industries and commerce are pros-
pering beyond all expectations. There is
a plethora of funds in Belgium, accord
inE to bankers doing business there.
What Belgium lacks is dollar credits.
II is to create these in order that Bel
gians may purchase American raw mate
rails and finished materials badly re-
puired that II is necessary to float loan
hece.

There was further sharp advance and
broadening OF interest in the cotton mar
ket during yesterdays early trading.
January deliveries made a new high rec
ord for the season, while March sold up to
S721c., or within points of the high price
touched on the advance of early Novem-
oer. The price attracted a good deal of
realizing, however, while there also was
considerable Southern selling,which caused
reactions during the middle of the day.
March sold Off to S6.55c.. or 20 points net
iower A renewal of trade buying led to
closing rallies of some 25 to 40 points
from the lowest, however, March closed at
5bS3c The general list closed steady at a
net advance of 8 to n points. The late
rally was promoted by the continued heavy
