KaK Street Briefs

New York, Sept. 16.--Bankers are making careful study of the amount of new business created by tho foreign loans fioated in the American market. British bankers are known to have been very suc- cessful in former years in inducing foreign borrowers to spend large part of the proceeds of their loan In England, and with New York superseding London as the financial center of the world, 1t is not un- likely that New York bankers will seek to stimulate the export busi- ness of this country. While no &C., curate figures are available at pres ent as to what percentage of foreign borrowings was sent here, consider able interest has been aroused by the recent department Of commerce report showing that the overseas trade of the world in 1923 totalled s46,00o, 900, 1000, of which our share amounted to F per cent as com pared with 101s per cent in 1913, the last full pre-war year.
 While Germany has not ., opened formal negotiations for the $2OO,- OOo,O00 international loan which forms the basis of the Dawes plan, rapid progress has been made by bankers in setting up. machinery for it's Notation. By clearing tip all technical questions regarding cou- pon rates, maturities interest yield, offering price, sinking fund stipula- tion and amortization features, the banks hope to place the loan on the market soon after Germany sub- mits its request.
