The War Loan Failure

The public has been surprised to
learn that the famous s500,000,000
credit loan of the allies in this coun-
try was, after all, not popular sue
cess. The syndicate that underworld
the loan found itself, at the expira-
ton of the sixtyday limit, with
$3.50, 100000 of the bonds on ii S
hands, and had to dump them into
the market to bring what they
would. From the fact that these Sc
curities have been selling lately at
from so to SO share under the
syndicate price, it's evident that the
underwriters are losing money on
the deal.
1t was supposed, from the readi-
ness with which tinanciers had join
ed the syndicate and subscribed for
big blocks Of the bonds, that the
public would absorb them readily
But the public hasn't shown any
such inclination. Its apathy is prob
able due chiefly to two causes: First
the Allies lack Of military success in
recent weeks, and their correspond
ing failure to appeal to the American
imagination; and second, the present
attractiveness of the American III.
vestment market.
The latter consideration is es-
pecially significant. Home invest
ments are looking more desirable
every day There is little doubt as
10 the ability of the belligerent ma
tions to pay their obligations but
there is still less doubt as to the
future OF the United States. Interest
and patriotism combine to induce
the American investor 70 help f.
nance permanent domestic enter
prise rather than the European war.
And so the tide of American gold is
turning steadily to the upbailiing Of
greater ana sounder prosperity
