N. Y. Bankers Interested
I'm German Loan Plans
Revision of Reparaiion Terms
First Step in Negotiations,
Observers Here Relieve

Much interest was manifested in
banking circles yesterday at the re.
ported trip to London OF high officials
OF the Berman Reiehsbank for the pur-
pose of arranging large Anglo-Amer-
lean loan.
Bankers hers with an intimate
knowledge of German finances had no
specific information on the proposed
loan. In fact, the news came as a sur
prise. II was asserted, however, that
before any such loan could be sue
cessfuIly arranged assurances would
have to be received from the Allied
Reparations Commission that revis-
ion would be made in the reparations
agreement. Not until such revision
had been made, it was declared, could
English or American bankers consider
making large loan or credit advances
to Germany.
The same cables telling of the i'm
pending negotiations for an Anglo
American loan to Germany noted the
arrival in Berlin of Frank A. Wander
lip, former head of the National City
Bank of New York.

Tell Pan-American Adver-
tisers That Situation in
Island Has Improved; Ru-
bens Attacks Sugar Tariff

High Cuban officials feel that the
proposed loan of $4,000, 900 to the
island republic to tide it over its pres
ent financial difficulties will be made.
Opinions to this effect were expressed
yesterday at the first Of series Of
monthly luncheons, for the 1921-1922
season under the auspices of the PAN
American Advertising Association.
Americas sense of justice and good
business will influence those who have
the power to make the loan, according
to Carlo Manuel de Cespedes, Minister
OF Cuba to the United States. Felipe
Taboada, Cuban Consul General here,
also guest at the luncheon, declared
that he was optimistic both regarding
the loan and Cuba's future financial
condition. II can say" he declared,
that the worst is over in Cuba DR..
de Cespedes also asserted that Cuba is
financially sound, that its finances are
being rearranged, and that already
there has been marked Improvement.
H. s. Rubens, president of the Cuba
Distilling Company, chairman of
trial Alcohol Company and of
the recently organized committee on
Cuban emergency, made a strong plea
for the repeal Of the tariff on Cuban
sugars, pointing out that the beet
sugar industry in this country, which
the tariff was designed to protect rep
resented an investment of $175,00O.
against more than a billion of Ameri-
can capitalinvested in the Cuban sugar
industry. ''More than that" he said.
the duty has not protected the Cuban
industry, for under the emergency
tariff in which there is a duty on
Cuban sugar, the prices of both Cuban
sugars and American beet sugars here
have declined. Another point that is
not realized, is that Cuban merchants
right now owe to American exporters
S75.O00,0O0 more than the capital in
100000 more than the capital in
vested in the American beet sugar in
dustry."
Among the other prominent guests
were General Demetrio Castillo Danny,
Cuban Secretary of War; Sebastian
Gelabert, Cuban Secretary of Finance,
and John Barrett, former president of
the Pan-American Union. James Car
son, president of the Pan American
Advertising Association, presided at the
luncheon.

Expectation of Freight
Cut Hurts Steel Buying

"The general expectation that an
early reduction will be made in freight
rates on iron and steel is now the con-
trolling influence in the market" says
"The Iron Age" "Its chief effect in
the last week has been to check new
business 1t is to be credited in part
also with the reduction in the price of
rails announced by the Steel CORPORA
tion Oh October 90. i.
I'm reducing steel rails from SAT to
$40 per gross ton the Steel Corpora .
ton directly points to reductions III
freight rates and otherwise, together
with larger operations as its depend
ence for the repair of its costs. For
larger operations the railroads must
needs release some hundreds of thou
sands Of tons Of 1921 rails that have
been frozen on rail mill books and
to which the reduced price will now
apply. In addition, free buying of rails
for 1922 is confidently looked for"
"The Iron Trade Review says:
The reduction in price OF steel rails
from SAT to $40 announced Saturday
by the United States Steel Corpora
tion fits in most opportunely with rail-
road rate and wage developments. Of
the total unrolled tonnage on the

With regard to Mr.. Lalnont's visit

in no definite plan. Before the bank
