New York Market to Be Re- lieved of Necessity of. Providing Funds. NEW YORK. May 24.—The Times| today says: A group of American| insurance companies, according to in- foermation current yesterday in well informed banking circles, is arranging a loan of a large amount in Paris to permit them to provide for their San Francisco losses without depending on the New York money market. The placing of another large loan in Paris, following the Pennsylvania Railroad’s borrowing there, would lead, it was thoug! yvesterday, to further large imports of gold. The report that were seeking the loan, although ac- cepted in banking circles, was dis credited last night by officers of sev ral of the larger New York fire in-| surance organizations, who said there was no truth in the report so far as their companies were concerned. It was pointed out, however, that the loan probably was being arranged in the interest of some of the smaller New York companies and also by some larger companies whose home offices’are in other States. The loan was said to amount to 00,000 or more, the rate go be at ur per cent, and the loan to run a vear. The principal significance at- tached to the matter was that the New York money market would be relieved of the necessity of providing the funds needed to pay off the losses of many fire insurance companies. local companies ELKS OF GARDEN CITY SECURE A NEW HOME Give a Banquet and Jinks in Structure Formerly Ownéd by the First Meth- odist Church.

CHICAGO, May 24.—Another of Chicago’s historic old houses is to go. It was announced yesterday that Mrs. Timothy B. Blackstone, widow of the former president of the Chi- cago and Alton Railroad and founder | of the Blackstone memorial library in Kenwood, had sold to Otto Young for $500.000 the family homestead on the northwest corner of Michigan avenue and Hubbard court. In spite of the large price offered, Mrs. Blackstone gvas extremely un- willing to part w! the place, which has been her home for more than forty years. When she finally con- sented it was with the stipulation that Young would tear down the building as- soon as she left, allowing no one | else to occupy it. It will be razed| early next spring. The lot upon which the # house stands has a frontage of 80 feet and a depth of 172 feet. As the build- ing itself was given no value in the transa¢tion, the sale price represents a value of $6750 a front foot and a little more than $36 a square foot.
