CANTONESE MERCHANTS
RAISE BIG WAR LOAN
$40, 100000 Mexican -Flotation Is
Agreed To-Note Value Rises,
but Trade Is Paralyzed.

BY the Associated Press.
CANTON, September Delayed) -
The Cantonese merchants have agreed
to raise a $10,000,000 Mexican military
loan. 1t is stated that the government
is forcing all businesses to purchase
bonds up to 40 per cent of their cap
italization.
The merchants agreement has re-
suited in a sudden rise in the value
of bank notes. The banks have re-
opened. Trade, however, is paralyZed
and this is attributed by financial
experts to the governments drastic
action.
The three members of the Chamber
of Commerce who were being detained
pending the raising of the $1O,000.00
loan have not yet been released.
