FINANCIAL NEWS
)REIGN EXCHANGE RATES ROSE
UJN JKUUKESS MADE ON LOAN
Report That Syndicate Will dandle Huge Issue
Regarded as a victory for American Bankers.
Sharp Gains in Specialties
vj :
NEW TOnK, Sept. 20. Favorable over-Sunday news regarding the progress
.In made In the arranging of a huge loan for the Allies waa responsible for
firmness in foreign market early today. Although there wne no vigorous
upward nit m mies, wiy were .inner man at the close on Saturday, and the
Uerlngs of bills were not as large. There waa very little actual business
transacted.
r As the day woro on mo inns lor exchange became larger and there were
further recoveries In all quotations, demand sterling, for Instance, at one
lime being up 8i cents from the final of Saturday. Brokers said that there
Vos a very light supply 01 commercial bills over the week.
That great progress has beon mads Is the geneal opinion throughout tho
Street, although ofnctal Information Is still conspicuous by its absence. ne
lsons to the effect that the proposed loan will be underwritten by h, syndicate
of American bankers and financiers la regarded as a distinct victory for the
American bankers who have been taking part In the negotiations, as tho
commission MHcn is representing Great DrlTain and Franca had, (according
te the reports current In the Street from time to time, been opposed to a syn
dicate taking ever the distribution of tho bonds.
Their principal objection, it has been pointed out, was that the commission
acted would be ery large. This point apparently has been gotten around, and
fjt is said that the payment of the syndlcnte.wlll not bo large. The amount heard
Ma that It would prooaoiy do a half ot 1 per ecnt. Members of the syndicate will
rtcehe the 5 per cent, on bonds at a discount sufficient to cover the cctual ex
penses of floating the loan. The bonds will then be offered to Investors nt pa,
the Interest to be payable In American dollars
P Nothing definite can be learned as to the actual amount of the loan, and
I estimates run an me way irom 600,ooo,ooo to 11,000,000,000, It Is also re
ported tnaj mo luiuib" i uiiiMusBiuiii'iH nnvcj reuucea meir nret request, wnicn
was for the larger nmount, to J800.000.000. Tho news from Washington that
the Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve Doard, which meets there to
ft morrow to consider the big loan, nnd which Is very much in favor of It, tended
,to show -which way the wind is blowing with regard to the progress being
mde. The opinion was expressed in many quarters that the negotiations had
rone1 much farther ahead than meagre reports would indicate, and thero were
even those who ventured to say that probably only minor details still re-
l malned to be agreed on.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks In tho negotiations Is the desire of the
i Anglo-French commissioners to have the stlpulatlonylnserted in the final
agreement tnat tn0 money raised can either bo used for commodities, such
4 as grains and cotton, etc., or wnr materials. This some of the American
bankers are at odds about, but It is thought that this obstacle can bo ocr
'come by the raising of separate funds to take care of this.
War specialties were tho features In the stock market throughout the day,
several making new high records, notably Willys-Overland, Studebaker nnd
1 General Motors. Advances ranged from one and two points to 17 points, the
Utter being scored by Wlllys-Overland. Studebnker was up nround 12 points,
as rs New York Air Brake. Thero was talk of new war orders, particularly
for Air Brake. The opinion was expressed that with the conclusion of nego
tiations for tho loan for the Allies a large amount of new orders would bo
given out.
Fewer Cars Stored in Shopf Pennsylvania Railroad
There was a decrease of 4876, or 14 per cent., In the number of cars stored
in the shops of tho Pennsylvania Railroad lines enst and west of Pittsburgh
en September U according to figures given out today. The actual number
of 'cars was 29,381, compared with 34,256 on April 1 of this year. At tho
latest compilation there were no good order cars stored on either the eastern
er the western lines, while on April 1 there were 19.247 on the lines enst and
M.74J on the lines west. The 23,381 Bhop cara on the entire system on Sep
tember 11 compares with a totul of 78,245 shop and good order cars on April 1,
a decrease of 62 V4 per cent.

Progress being made by the bankers
conferring In New York In arranging a
big credit to the Allies, ranging In
amounts all the way from 1300,000,000 to
(1,000,000,000, has raised the tfuestlon In
this city as to how much of the total
amount the banks and trust companies
here will be askod to take. As et local
bankers have heard nothing, either offi
cial or unofficial, as to how the nego
tiations aro shaping themselves, other
than that they know that much has been
done.
It Is estimated that the banks here,
under tho lawa, could not take) more than,
say, JIS.OOO.OOO of the loan This figure Is
arrived at from the statements ot the
members of ths Philadelphia Clearing
House Association, and tn divided as fol
lows: 8,ooo,ooo for the national banka and
$3,000,000 for the truat companies. The
largest amount, It (.estimated, that could
be handled here Is 136,000,000. Hankers
BRree that with a surplus of upwards ot
$'7,000,000 they would not taro to cut It
down any moro than half.
There has been some talk In various
quarters of tho financial district today
that the banka would be nsked to take
V 00,000,000, but this amount, It Is polnfd
out, Is too large Under the laws the
larseat bank In the city cannot lend more
than 1150,000 to one borrower, and It was
tald It cannot be seen where nny more
could be loaned In a case like the present.
The national banks ore not allowed to
lend more thnn 10 per cent of their com
bined capital and surplus at one time.
but can continue until the amount reach-
.10 per cent, of the combined, cartel aM
surplus.
In the stock market today (Jamtrrte.
Bteel was the most active feature, mef
than 23,000 shares changing hand ttitrliteT
the day, the price tislnsT to within a,
fraction of t points abqve the final et
Baturday. There wa no news accom
panying the strength Aside frorn thin
Issue Laka Superior was the most active,
at declining; prices, that stock losing rere
than 2 points before midday The stock
was tinder heavy liquidation and the
selling seemed to be due to the repeft
from London, dated August 18, from the
Bondholders' Committee there, which rep
resents the first mortgage holders of tM
110,030,000 first 60-year I per cent, bend
of the AlKoma Central and Hudson Bay
Railway Company, which Is an Important
subsidiary pf the Lake Superior Corpora
tlon Ruperlor came baek a. little from
the low In the afternoon.
The London, report shows that a drastis
reorganization Is necessary and a new
working policy adopted by the company
over the present difficulties. The report
goes on to say that $03,000 must be spent
on the rsllway. The 1300,000 receivers
certificates cannot be sold until New
York hankers are satisfied that certain
litigation can be avoided. It la admitted
that the Algoma Steel Corporation, which
on August IS was working only on part
time, retards the progress of the com
pany in a large degree, and that the as-,
sots of the Lake Superior Corporatloju
outslde of the Interest In subsidiary and
other companies, aggregates only $869,41,

subordinated to the conscription policy of
Mr, Lloyd-George, Lord Curgon nnd Win.
aton 8. Churchill. According to reports,
they meditate forcing the adoption of
their compulsion views or demanding a
dissolution of Parliament. II. Thomas,
the railway men's representative, hag
warned the House of Commons In a pow
erful speech that conscription would pre
cipitate a revolution.
Popular opinion will eventually prevail
over the newspaper press, and 1 still be'
II eve that Mr. Lloyd-George hag lott his
hold on the working claspes. Lord Kltchr
ener's optimism about Russian resistance
contrasts with Mr. Lloyd-George's melo
drama. lc pessimism.
Tl.n bank returns last week showed a
temporary setbaok in tha gold reserve.
The beat opinion here regards your Ml
lion-dollar credit, If granted, as applica
ble only to Government purchases ordi
nary trade exchange being left to right
itself as for as possible. Confidence 1
felt generally here that fairly satisfactory
arrangements will be concluded.
Tuesday'a budget statement Is now be.
lng anticipated with anxiety, but the
country can afford to pay now mora
easily than atter the war, for huge ex
pendlture produces fictitious prosperity.
Moreover, harvest reports everywhere
point to reasonable food prices. The
Chancellor of Exchequer, Mr. McKenna,
probably will lay on taxes for the pur
pose of diminishing luxurious consump
tion and avoiding a fiscal controversy.,--
I may ray, In reply to your question
whether there are any objections to gelling
bonrtr to Americans of alien or enemy ex
traction or nationality, that all trading
with enemy cltlgens Is Illegal, whether
buying or selling.
The Russian Duma adjournment need
not affect the gold export policy, which
might assist exchanges, as the Russian
gold hoard is very large.
In answering a Question In the House of
Commons about Germany's exports and
our blockado, Sir Edward Qrey said, "It
must be borne In mind that our object Is
not to Injure neutrals but to Impose mate
rial disadvantage on our enemy." This
rebuke was well earned and significant.
Premier Asqulth's expenditure figure
are staggering nearly double the French.
Hence the budget must be secure. All
belligerent debts are now growing faster
than ever.
