and Wellsville, in the next county west
from Lawrence about half an inch of
rain fell. At Weilsyille there had been
no rain for more than three months and

LONDON SHES AT STEEL STOCK
Bankers Averse to Its Acceptance as
Collateral for Loans

London, July 16.-Lombard street
looked askance upon American steel
stock as collateral for loans yesterday.
Bankers entered denial of the existence
of any concerted movement against ac-
ceptance of such security, but the fact
remained and was common gossip in
Capel court, that under present condi-
tions the stock is more or less of a
drug on the London financial market.
This of necessity accelerated the bear
campaign against American steel, based
primarily upon reduced earning capac-
ity due to the great strikes.
There is no discrimination against
the United States Steel corporation
said Lord Rothschild. when questioned.
LIT is simply a business matter here that
bankers do not advance large amounts
| on one class of stocks alone. Neverthe-
less" he significantly added: Settle
your strike and arrange your railroad
difficulties, and you Will find London as
willing as ever to support American se-
curities.'
we have no notification that the
! banks were making difficulties" said j.
=. Morgan. Jr. When the effect of the
strike is definitely known, if the banks
should decline to lend money ON steel
we would be glad to do so. If we have
| money available for such purposes
.. New York. July 16.-Cables received
\ by foreign banking houses in this city
confirmed the reports as to the difficulty
| of obtaining loans in London on United
States Steel corporation shares. One of
the best known foreign bankers in the
city Said
London bankers have never done
iquite The same thing before. Their at
ltitude is wholly new. 1 think. so far as
| American stocks are concerned. Some
time ago they declined to loan on min
| ing shares, but under the circumstances
.lthat refusal did not amount to much.
1t must be remembered, however. that
| London has not the facility of New
York's call loan system, and whatever
funds are tied up at this settlement day
must hold over the fortnight. For this
reason they are naturally disturbed at
the strike news and the apparent un-
certainty of the situation.
but the discrimination. whatever 1t
liz, may not last long. After the furry

of steel shares (part of which has been
already made good is over affairs will
be adjusted. Again. London has had he.
I hands full all along without providing

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 set
