Negotiating American Investments
Mr. shaubut was seen yesterday and
sasd. Fl sssrri to London Eu May last and
Opened an Office In No. Cass;eH bgildlag
fer the purpose OF traHsactfng business
partatr41g 10 American Investments.
One thing I car TOW say ~ that The
English peopls at the present time arc
anxious 70 make Investments. The effects
OF the garsng bank failure and the de-
pfesxans that followed Il are nearly ever.
At the last annl1af nesting OF tire Bank
az E.rsgIantl (; was shown that S. per cent.
Of tbs liabilities OF the company had been
pala AMI that tisera were securities
enough On ham1 To ray the balance cf
the liabilities ard stu have a large sar-
plus. This fact has encouraged English
Investors and they are ready 10 Invest IN
asfsseet anything that IS cafe and will
yield a moderate rate Of interest. Ia fact
the people generally. including The iinan-
ciers. are ready for wba. we In the West
call a bocss. They expect that there viii
BE- within a short time a rise in stocks
bonds and all sorts of securities that will
be enduring.

Rnsfress Mstheds In London.
In Lossfon when man goes there TO
10 business he docs not deal with the IN
s-stors. but with tho solicitors and In
yezfoTs. You could take a tcng rope ard
surround the class who arrange these
deals They form almost q community
by themselves TO the heart OF London
] had people visit me from France and
Switzerland who were anxious to make
Investments.
Times Improving In Eueland.
There is no DOUBT but what the times
are Improving On the other side OF the
water and thai the confidence In Ameri-
can securities Is now on the up grade anst

that We had q BIG railway strike and so
