OBJECTIONS TO LOAN
Most Rcassuring Advices Re-
ceived From Thousands

A canvass made yesterday among the

any great amount OF pressure was be-
ing put upo., those institutions by de-
posltors or correspondents OF pro-Ger-

receiving from their correspondents re-
gardlng their willingness to participate
in the British loan were most reas-
surfing. and the entire country seemed
to be realizing that the huge loan must
be n national one for the sake OF the
prosperity OF the United states.
At the National CITY Bank II was
stated that only one objection had been

Of the Merchants Mechanics National
Bank.
II have no fear that such a loan can
be successfully placed here" said Mr..
Ramsay. The credit OF England and
France will be all the guarantee that Is
