A GERMAN CREDIT IS PLAN OF BANKERS Negotiations foe {?19,000,000 to Cover Purchases of Grain, &c., Here Under "Way. At least four separate banking- groups are negotiating with a commission of the German Government an aggregate of $49,000,000 of credits to cover purchases of grain, &c., in the United States with $10,000,000 additional credits being arranged in London, and one of them, amounting to $9,060,000, is virtually completed. Actual signatures of- the German officials have not been affixed to such, but terms and details have been agreed to ami the credit is expectod to become a fact before August 1. The only reason for delay in signing up that credit is the desire of the German Government to ascertain Just how great the harvest in Germany will be, and that fact should be ascertained within two weeks. Tiie American negotiators for the extension of a $9,000,000 short tcrn\ credit running for ninety to 180 days are headed hy the International Acceptance Bank, of which Paul M. "Warburg In I chairman. Associated with that bank I are the Bankers Trust' Company, the ! Chase Securities Corporation, the h irst I National Bank of Boston, and others. ] Another group, headed by a banking ! firm, tho principal partner of which is abroad, is negotiating a $-5,000 000 credit, part of which is to bo paid in thirty days, part in idxty day#, part in ninety days and the balance in a year. The smallest credit under negotiation is a $5,000,000 affair of slnyt term duration. Still another group is negotiating a $20,000,000 credit, of which half is to be extended by London. The names of that group cannot bo mentioned; pernio ny's total ci'Piill needs In connection witii grain are estimated at about $40,000,000 and some of these negotiations may not bo consummated. . Details regarding tho guarantees for such credits have not been learned, but it is thought in banking circles that German banks and bankers will have to affix the.lr names to the paper representing tho actual exports to be handled through the regular exporting houses for grains, &c. Tlio proper kind of paper, when accepted here, should be rediscountabie at the Reserve banks, provided that it is indorsed by member bunks. Plans of tho negotiators of the $9,U'J0,000 credit, which probably will be the first to be announced, undoubtedly comprehend eligibility for rediscount in the Reserve system. A recfent Reserve Beard ruling permits the purchase by Reserve banks of six months paper required ty overseas trade usages. FURTHER WAGE CUTS IN STEEL MILLS SEEN i'! A m i ui& 41.5& A vi t* v/# fo 25 Cents an Hour. Cuts in wages will go into effect on j July 16 in many independent steel mills, according to the Iron Age, which in its weekly review of the Industry predicts that a seal" down to 23 cents an hour, a ; compared with the present rate of 37 cents. In one Eastern mill, the jour; nal declares, as low as 20 cents Is now being paid. The rate generally paid i before the war was 19 cents. "The rate for common labor," tho re| view sa>w. "iu reduced from 37 to 30 I cents an hour, making the total reduci tion from the peak about 33 per cent. | The Steel Corporation by abolishing tho ! t ip, t hour basic day comes to 37 cents I an hour for common labor. There are pi odk'tions of a 25 cent rate before tho i downward movement Is stopped, as against 19 cents before the war. The Independent sheet and tin plate mills made a settlement at Columbus. Ohio, on July 9 with the union workers, whi' it means a 10 per cent, lower labor coat. The Western bar scale is yet to be fixed. Two Independent sheet makers who Eigned the scale last year are expected to operate on the open shop plan in the future." The fron Trade Review says: "While recent general reductions in steel prices have brought out only a limited amount of new tonnage, they are serving their part In clearing tho air. Foelir.g Is growing that under present coat coralitions the point of ultimate dei clino and consequent stabilization cannot be far distant.

Further wage cuts ranging from | 13 per cent, by Eastern to 20 per cent, by Western mills have been spreading | this week as lower selling ilgures bc| come effective." $292,000 OIL SUIT BEGUN. , F.

Contract for Connection With Argentine System Goes to New York Company. A lino to connect the railroad systems of Bolivia and Argentina and give the former country a connection with, the j Atlantic Ocean is to be constructed In j Bolivia.

A feature of the proposed new line, according to officials of the construction 1 company, is that it will shorten the time of travel between New York and Buenos Aires two or three days. When the new road should bo completed, it was said, a passenger from New York could go through the Panama Canal and disembark in Chile, whence rail connections would be afforded to Buenos Aires. The advantage of the new line over the preae/it trans-Andean road from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires, it was said, is Its ability to operate throughout j I the year, whereas the Valparaiso line I j In winter is sometimes closed up two' : to four months. ! The cost of the new line is expected to approximate 510,000,000 and the com| pany which has been awarded the conI tract for its construction has purchased | from the Bolivian Government $7,000,000 : of its 8 per cent, serial bonds, maturing over twenty years. The proceeds of this bond sale will be used partly to finance the new construction. The contract calls for the completion j of the new road within flvo years, and preliminary studlis and surveys for it will start immediately. The contractors plan to stanjt actual construction work not later than January 1, 1922. The " contract provides for the construction of I the road and its equipment, including ' i stations, telephones, .
