WAR BONDS IN DEMAND
MANY APPLICATIONS HERE FOR THE
NEW BRITISH LOAN.

Already IL is evident that the new r,r,.,,
loan VIII De as successful in this country as was
the issue OF war bonds in March last. Altbougb
Tuesday next is the day fixed for the racs,n+
OF subscriptions, applications, il was learned
yesterday. have already been sent to ]. p Nor
gan & Co. and Barring Magoun g. Co alone
for S25Oo0000 Of the bonds or half the tota,
issue The two firms named together D,,h
Drexel & Co.. Of Philadelphia and Kidder Pen
body & Co.. OF Boston. formed themselves into
syndicate to underwrite the half of the issue
and the applications which have so far been
received show that these houses did not over
rate the attractiveness of the new bonds to in
vestors In this country Moreover this under-
writing transaction helps once more to estab-
lish the position of the United States as an
International money lender.
When the March E30O0OO00 issue was made
over S50O00,000 was subscribed in this country,
but in consequence of the large oversubscription
in England an allotment of only about 20 per
cent was made for the United States applicants.
In the present instance the subscriptions here
will undoubtedly be larger than the total amount
OF the securities offered. but it is expected that
the percentage of the bonds which will be ap-
portioned to this side will be much greater than
in March. That loan is now selling in London
al discount, and the probabilities are that Lon
don VIII be less eager for this issue than the
that 1t would be to England's interest to place
as much or the loan abroad as possible, as there
by II would augment its supply Of funds from
outside sources and would cause less disturb
ance TO its money and discount rates. The re-
turn TO the investor in the new loan is much
larger than in the case Of the so-called khaki
bonds and the higher interest is expected TO
make them attractive to buyers Of gilt edged
securities. The effect Of the loan on the local
money market, It said in Wall Street yes
terday, would probably be to advance exchange
rates TO a point where it would be cheaper to
ship gold than to remit by bills and gold ex-
ports would undoubtedly follow.
Russell Sage, talking upon the new loan with
some OF the many friends who called upon him
yesterday TO congratulate him upon having
reached the age of eighty-four years, said:
appreciate the fact that these war loans form
an entirely new field for investment in this coun-
Try For the time being the balance of trade is
largely in favor Of the United States. The surplus
cf money Is in the hands OF men who are of such
character as 10 appreciate such a loan of high
grade as this British loan. l am glad to see that
we are now returning the favors which the British
have showed us in taking up loans in the past
i his loan viii make opening for future loans
OF a similar character, and will be productive of
great good TO both nations, in peace and war alike
] am inclined myself TO subscribe for some OF the
bonds.
