EXPECT TO TAKE PART
IN BIG AUSTRIAN LOAN
q. S. Bankers Await Definite Pro-

Will Attract Investors.
BY the Associated Press.

By the AssOCiated Press.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Local inter-
national bankers appear confident
that America will be asked to partici-
Austrian loan and state they believe
the loan, if made, will prove attrac-
tive to investors in this country. No
definite proposal relative to the loan
has yet reached this country, but
Paris dispatches disclosed that Thomas
w. Lamont of ]. P. Morgan & Co. had
conferred with Austrian officials at
the French capital on the subject.
The bandit outrages in China, it is
thought, ended all chances Of floating
a Chinese loan in this country at any
early date. Chinese government rail-
way bonds reacted slightly as a re-
suit of the publicity which attended
the derailing of a train and the kid
naping of a number of foreigners by
the Chinese band.
