 NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Munitions of war will not be allowed to block the proposed big credit loan to Great Britain and France nor will the 5000 OO0OOO or $SOO,OOOOOO to be obtained be locked up at once in New York treasure chest, according to the con census of opinion of those close in touch with the negotiations for the raising of the money.
 Exports of munitions, it is esti- mated, constitute considerably less than a quarter of the total value Of American shipments to Great Britain and France. Leaving them out of the calculations, if provision be made for the shipment of soil products and the chief manufactured articles, ex- change will in the opinion of the bankers become stabilized. Some other method, if necessary, will be found to pay for munitions, such as gold or American securities.

VALLEY LAND IN YAVAPA| |S
 TAKEN UP
ABOUT ALL THAT RE- MAINS IS GRAZING ACRE AGE ON MOUNTAINS AND IN HILLY SECTIONS

PHOENIX, Sept. 2O.-While there are several thousand acres of land yet open for selection by the State in Yavapai county, Commissioner w. A. Moeur says that it is all grazing land, so far as it has been surveyed, and it is mostly on the mountains and hilly section of the county. Tn the valleys the land is nearly all taken tip, much of it in large tracts.
 Stockmen, by purchasing the alter nate odd sections from the railroads and then securing the even sections from the government with scrip, have been able to acquire large amount of land which is useful for grazing only.
 The price paid to the railroad has been about 5 cents per acre, while the land acquired by scrip has cost them more. The minimum at which State grazing lands can be sold is s per acre, but even at this price it would be possible, he says, to sell a goodly amount of it if it could be had in large tracts, as a small tract, such as the constitutional minimum of GAO acres, makes it less attrac, tive.
 He states that grazing is good on the mountain sides and if the land could be sold or leased in larger tracts there would be no difficulty in obtaining a handsome revenue from it for the State.
 On account of these limitations, it is the general policy of the commits sion to make their selections for State purposes from possible agricultural lands, as the minimum price is much larger, while the maximum which can be sold to one person is sufficient to satisfy the prospective purchaser.
