International bankers here predicted that offering of the American portion would be made on an per cent basis some time after Octo- Der 15.
 Meanwhile other foreign loans and credits for German industries, aggre- gating upwards of $100,000,0 900, are be. ing held up until the financial founda- tion of the Dawes plan is established. Negotiations have been virtually com. lleted, however, for credits of about S1O,0O0,000 for the reorganized Ger nan coal syndicate and about $6,OOO,- 100 for an important German dye man. ufacturer.
 Applications for funds from other business interests, it was estimated, to- tailed almost $1,O0O,0O0O0O.
 The French government is expected to be a large borrower here within the next six months, probably floating an external loan for $150,OO0,O0O.

 Belgian Bonds Popular
 The Belgian financing, together with $26,000,000 issue for the Canadian National railways, constituted the bulk of the weeks new offerings, which ex- ceeded $75,000,00O. The new Belgian 6h per cent bonds commanded a pre- mium as soon as they were listed on the New York stock exchange and led the entire foreign list in activity.
 In a market almost devoid of indi- vidual features, activity in Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad issues was conspicuous. Accumulation of these liens, pushing prices up to 8 points, followed the action of the Denver court III upholding the roads reorganization

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Temporary stiffening of the call money rate re- tarded activity in the bond market last week. Trading was marked by reac- tionary trend, although prices staged an irregular recovery late in the week un- der the impetus of renewed demand for the railroad issues.
 After responding to news from Flu rope that the machinery of the Dawes plan had been set in motion and the first payment of 20,000,O00 marks made by Germany, foreign obligations marked time pending further definite political developments. Revival of activity in this group is expected to await action on the heavy budget of foreign financ- ing due this fall.
