Post says:
Cables received by foreign banking
houses in this city today said hat in
London there was great difficulty in
obtaining loans on United States Steel
Corporation shares. One of the best
knownf foreign bankers in the city said:
London bankers have never done
quite the same thing before. Their at
titude is wholly new, I think so, farsas
American stocks are concerned. Some
time ago they declined to BAL on min
ing shares, but under the circumstances,
that refusal did not amount to much. It
must be remembered, however, THAI
London has o the facility Of New
York's call loan system, and that what
ever funds are tied up at this settle
ment day must hold over the fortnight.
Fol this reason they are naturally dis
turbed at the strike news and the APP
parent uncertainty of the situation.
the discrimination, whatever it is, may
not last long. After the furry is over
and the heavy drop in the price of Steel
shares (part Of which has been already
made good) Is over, affairs will be ad-
justed. Again, London has had her
hands full all along without providing
a market for these foreign securities,
so that the hitch is not unnatural. Then,
too. London bankers never require a
margin on loans, letting the brokers
have full value Of the collateral offered
so that when a drop occurs around
settlement day, consequences are al
ways apt to be embarrassing"
London, July 15.-There was consider
able gossip in the city today concern
ing United States Steel stocks n ru-
mors that London bankers had taken a
stand against them and were refusing
loans on them. Denials of reports were
made in some quarters, including Pier
pont Morgan's banking house, but 9TH
ers said loans On these stocks could be
had only with great difficulty and
where the individual seeking the loan
had good personal credit.
Lord Rothschild said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
There is no discrimination against
United States Steel Corporation or 9TH
er American stocks, it is simply a bus
mess matter here hat bankers do not
advance large amounts on any class of
stocks alone. If a man came to me and
asked for $50, 0G0 on one lot of stocks,
l would not give it to him. 1 should re-
Quire several different lots of securities.
The financial situation here, not includ-
ms SoASoiS, ucpCIoS SiuiSi upol lue
United States. If o send over good
prices we will keep them up, but if you
are as persistent sellers as you have
been today, you cannot expect London
to go on buying.
THE financial situation in Germany
is all right; everything, as I nave said,
depends upon the United States. j. P.
Morgan placed s15, 0OO. 900 of Steel stocks
here, they have gone down considerably,
and therefore it cannot be called sur
prising if the London market is de-
spondent, but there is no real anxiety,
nor likelihood of panic or things Of that
sort. 1 expect the situation in the Unit
ed States-the drought, bad crops and
the possible results of the strike-to be
exaggerated. Settle YOU strike and ar
range o u railroad difficulties and you
will find 1ondon as willing as ever to
support American securities"
