FURTHER ADVANCES

DEMANDED

Peking, July 10.

A conference took place here yesterday which was attended by the six Ministers representing the reepective countries of the international group, the Premier Lu Cheng-hsiang and Hsiung Hsi-ling, Minister of Finance.

The conference had no definite result, but some new proposals were made which may possibly result in an eventual settlement.

Hsiung Hei-ling demanded that another Tls. 300,000 should be advanced immediately. But the Banks insist that all further advances must come under the same terms as the principal loan. This demand is, however, declined by the Chinese Government for the time being.—"Ostariatischer Lloyd."
