ARABIC'S FATE PUTS
LOAN IN JEOPARDY
Banker Thinks British Credit
Here Hangs Upon Stand
Of This Country.
NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE

Although conferences regarding the
establishment OF a British loan or
credit in this country to readjust the
situation in sterling exchange were con-
tlnued yesterday by leading bankers, it
was said at the close of business that
there were no new developments in the
situation. 1t Is generally believed that
there will he no formal announcement
this week OF the progrts IS made in the
negotiations. Gables are passing be-
tween the New York and London
bankers. 1t is understood that there
are still several important matters to be
adjusted.
A new factor has been introduced In
the situation through the sinking OF the
Arabic. AT the close of business this
loomed large as perhaps having an Inn
portant effect on the placing OF the loan.
II is the question as to what action Will
he taken by the United States. A promi-
nent banker said that there was a pos
slbility that this country might have to
do some financing on It's own account
very soon in case President Wilson and
Congress took the firm stand outlined
In the last note to Germany regarding
the sinking OF the Lusitania. Should the
United States be forced TO sell $5OO,0OO,-
600 or more bonds In case the country
became embrolled with Germany over
the sinking Of the Arabic 1t Is believed
that IL would at least have the effect Of
postponing all negotiations for the plac-
ing of a big British Loan here for some
time.
The banker. in commenting on the sit
uation, pointed out that II the German
submarines continued their activities at
' the present rate they would be striking
at the very heart of about the only busi-
ness through which this country Is now
prospering-its war order business. and
the sale OF foodstuffs and supplies to the
Allies. He said II was well known
that general business in the United
States was not up to normal and that
the greater part of the industrial plants
were dependent on orders from abroad.
Sterling exchange was fr~actionally
easier at the close OF the market after
an especially erratic day. Demand closed
at 4.67L. with cables at ass. This com
pares with 467h for demand n +.6sis
for cables at the close OF business on
Thursday. Francs were also somewhat
easier at $50 for checks and $50 for
cables. against a previous close OF $50
and $50 respectively. Marks advanced
to 81 5-l8 for sight drafts and slA for
cables, on Thursday they were quoted
at s1A for drafts and 81 5-l6 for cables.
Italian lire sold at GA, as compared
with a previous close Of 6.4ih. while
Austrian kronen sold up 10 1910, against
1906 on Thursday. Rubles, in spite OF
the continued Russian reverses, advanced
from S5Ls, the former closing price,
TO 81.

MORE BONDS TO COME
BACK FROM FRANCE
Action Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
May Cause Return Of Big
Railroad Issues.

As a result OF the negotiations with
the French whereby Kuhn. Loeb & Co.
will finance the purchase OF about
$4,000, 900. face value. Of Pennsylvania
Company franc bonds now underlying
the Morgan. Rothschild loan and their
exchange into dollar bonds, ii Is believed
that steps have been taken to convert all
OF the 2jO. 600. 900 franc issue OF these
bonds into dollar bonds to be sold here.
This will mean that ond to the amount
of about 10000, 900 francs OF this issue,
which are still in the hands Of private
holders in France. will ave to be
gathered together for the sale.
1t IL understood hat the French Gov
eminent Is already concerned In efforts
TO persuade private holders TO draw
these bonds out of their strong boxes
and sell them. There is a good deal OF
confidence here hat the efforts to pur-
chase the entire issue from the French
will be successful. The French Govern
ment and bankers are anxious to take
advantage of an opportunity to convert
an asset, which without the Kuhn. Loeb
e. Co. conversion offer would be un-
salable in the American market. Into

THE STEEL MARKET.
Demand SIN From Exporters and
ANN unitiOn Makers.

There were no new developments of
importance in the steel trade yesterday.
Conditions continued generally favor
able, with no letting up In the demand
from exporters and ammunition manu-
facturers. Russia has purchased about
10000 tons of steel rails in this coun-
try recently, and though the estimates Of
the original inquiry were far above this
amount, II Is not probable that addi-
tional %touuages will be contracted for
during the current year.
Prices for galvanized products, which
SCARED with the sensational rise in spell
ter, have dropped rather sharply owing
TO the slump in prices for the metal,
