New Russian Loan Paves Way Amid Morocco Settlement
Paris bankers anticipate a new Russian loan of about 160 million dollars, likely at 4.5 percent, with Paris and Berlin participation. Witte’s Paris visits and talks with Credit Lyonnais and Hottinguer helped steer negotiations, while the Franco German Morocco settlement eases tensions and stabilizes markets. Witte faces jealousy in Russia as his progress is watched from St. Petersburg, and his meeting with the German emperor is viewed as a sign of good relations between Berlin and Paris.
