The Morgan Syndicate that floated the recent Belgian stabilization loan of $50,000,000, will, it is anticipated, handle the major financing of the French republic. The ground work for these loans has already baen surveyed. The recent sharp rise in French government dollar bonds is said to be something of a window dressing operation for the floating of future loans, Banks, insurance companies, and the investing class are the pur- chasers of these forelgn securitics the intercst of which is yearly re- turning here in rising volume, Deal- ings in these securities on the New York Stock ange have reached 000,000, Have Made Millions. Wall Street banks and allied in- stitutions in all parts of the United States have made millions in the marketing of foreign bonds. The margin in this profitable business, however, is diminishing. Borrowir nations of Europe have had to p a stiff toll for money accommodation for the American people had to be educated to purchase this class of securities. The bankers and distributors of the recent $50,000,000 Belgian loan are reported to have made approxi- mately $2,500,000 less the costs of overhead and distribution. These banking profits are divided among the original terms group, made up of one or more leadtng banking firms which negotiate directly with the borrowing government. The banking group which takes the bonds at a small advance from the terms group and the selling syndi- cate composed of leading banks and other distributors which acquire the bonds from the banking group. The terms group pays the foreign government, for example’ 89 for seven per cent bonds; the banking group obtains them for 90 and the selling syndicate secures them for 91%. The investors then pay 94. As members of the terms group are also members of the other groups thelr profits are large. Belgium is understood 'to have re- ceived about 89 for her $50,000,000 loan for which the public paid 94. y | READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS 10 TAKE T0 AI Signs Contract for Fast Aerial Service New York, Nov. 9 (A—The Ame- erican Raflway Express is to take to the air.
