The Times Of the 9th thus speaks as IL
The prospects OF the Government Loan
7 finding ppFchasers 10 London:
The chief feature Of The United States
Loan Bill. as distinguished from that Of
last year. is, .hai il allows a rate below
par. This concession is most important
one and, indeed. would never have been
made, had jinol been fell that the money
markets we're in most desperate coadi
ton as iar as The negotiation Of loan is
concernfd On the spot The easiness Of
money Ia England seems to haye1 been
regarded with some eSgerness, As if that
afforded ! chance Of PORTION Of the loan
being taken here.
This hope Is : mestiforlorn one, and
The people OF The United States may be
folly persuaded that ihete is certain
<leis Of securities 10 which no abundance
ct money. however greats can give value
and that ID this class their own securities
stand preseminent. All, however, The
hope might be followed bs an Offer, il
viii be IS we'll for Londoa capitalists to be
On their guard, and 10 re mem Der he spe.
sclfnshs they have already had Of Aneri.I
eaa securities. Tbe only chance, then. OF
srnoney being obtained BY The Federal
Government from ihe United States
money markets, and the condition OF
them i most completely illustrated BY the
circumstances recorded ia one Of the pa,
pefs. that when only B 100000 OF the
loan. previously aulhofzed was taken, an
immense pressure was-occasioned The
probability Is. therefore. that in such !
eondiiioc Of things. the fullest advantage
1Nlll be taken 81 tbs preuinm 70 purchase
below gar. and that sum will be realized
which will fail short Of The expectations
