France Wants S15O,0OO,O 900
+. and Belgium Needs
| Large Funds.

NEW YORK, October 13.-Com-
pletton of the $2oO,o0O,000 loan to
Germany will pave the way for other
international loans aggregating sew
eral hundred million dollars within
the near future, in the opinion OF
American bankers.
While great part of this business
would be for account of German IN
dustries, it was said today that
sl50,00o,ooo. and that Belgium was
insistent that her demands be given
immediate attention.
Americas share of the German
loan, l10,000.000. will be produced on
schedule time tomorrow, interna-
tional bankers connected with the j.
=. Morgan e. Co. group said. Ofhciais
of the more than 800 banks assocl-
ated with the Offering syndicate dis
regarded the legal holiday. today 70
prepare subscriptions for deposit
with Morgan & Co. tomorrow. Early
indications were that the amount Will
be greatly overSubscribed.

cepted as true, though lacking con-
hrmation of the Morgan house, says
that the banking commission Tor

kind. Under this arrangement the
Morgan group of banks would pur-
chase the bonds from the German
government at 81 for sale to the
American public at 80. This repre-
sents a difference between cost and
selling prices of s5.5O0,000. out of
which must be paid advertising and
other offering expenses.
A flood of other European funding
will follow completion OF the loan
local bankers are convinced. This,
they say. will include scores OF Ger
man industrial loans, representing the
real key to economic revival abroad
and the resumption Of world trade.
