New York, Dec, 11—Dissolution next Wednesday of the banking
syndicate which floated the $500,000,000 Anglo-French loan, is

ject to future delivery, at steady declines down to 94 8.4, This was
3 1-4 points under the price of the regular public offering and 1 1-2
points below the price paid by the syndicate,

thas the syndicate expects to have not less than $150,000,000 of the en
tire bond Issue returned as unsold,

The United States government has demanded from A astria-Hun
gary a disavowal of the sinking by oue of that government’s subma
riues of the Italian steamer Ancona, the punishment of the submarine
commander and an indemnity for the American citizens killed or in
jaed; j
The act of the submarine is declared to be illegal and indefensible.
The United States expects tha dual monarchy to “‘accede to its
demands promptly.”
Austria’s delay in rep'ying to the American government’s requesf
for details concerning the Ancana, says a Vienna dispatch, is due to
inability to communieite with the submarine involved: Nothing is
known of its whereabouts and it is considered possible in Vienna that
it may have met with misfortune.
