Deal.
i
London.?Definite announcement
of the terms of which the Anglo- 1
French is to he issued in the Unite;!
States was about in line with the ex.
. . . ' I
pectations of the British financiers.
The rate is a shade higher than Had! '
been looked for originally, in some
quarters. *
It. is felt here that advantage rests
with America in obtaining such good
rate of interest and facilities for its 1
export trade, although England also *
reaps benefit by the postponement, for j 1
at least five years of payment of the !
debt for goods received.
The question of exchange now is of '
first importance. Belief is expressed (
in banking and exchange circles that
further measures will be necessary to
oring the the rate more nearly to a
normal figure. Gold still is going out '
and will continue to go in payment of
munitions.
The loan will cancel part of the ad- ^
verse trade balance, but in view of the .
coming shipments of cotton and grain
which, will swell the balance, persons
in close touch with the exchange sit-]
tion here are of the opinion that further
action will be necessary.
At the same time the slow, but grad- ^
ual improvement of the British export
trade and a reduction in the importa- ,
tion of luxuries as a result of the newly
arranged tariff schedules will help
the situation. .. 1 r
Much more might be done by selling
more American securities, of which a
very large total still is held here. In
the meanwhile dealers ponding a more!
definite rise in exchange, are adopting ,
a cautious attitude. It is understood
bankers are keeping small balances in
New York, anticipating a rise in exchange.
Consequently any large orders
which may come on the market will
have an appreciable effect.
London representatives of American;
financial houses did not care to com-1
ment on the terms of the loan in the
absence of news from their head office
A prominent English banker expressed
the opinion that the Anglo-French
commission had done well in view of
the strong opposition in America. This
is the first loan Great Britain has negotiated
abroad, and although the ex- >
change rate has recovered only a frac-i
tion at present, the money has not yet
been paid over. The high yield must '
not be looked upon, this banker said,l'
as a reflection on the credit of Great,
Britain, inasmuch as short term bonds 1
always yield more than long term '
loans and Americans are accustomed
to a high rate of interest on short issues.

comforting words in the following
statement.
B. F. Skipper, carpenter, Main St.,

pains in my back. My kidneys did not
act as they should. i used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured from the Norton
Drug Co. and they brought mo
prompt relief. I have had no backache
or pains since and my kidneys
have been regular." (Statemtnt given
January 5th, 1910.)

Skipper said: "I use Doan's Kidney
Pills occasionally whenever my kidneys
show signs of disorder and they
always give me relief."
