FOREIGN LOAN REPORTS
HELP EXCHANGE MARKET
Renewed Gossip in New York Finan-
cial Circles Imparts Strength.
Important Questions Involved.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Reports
that negotiations were under way for
the f1otation of a big foreign loan in
New York impaired strength to the
foreign exchange market today, not
withstanding the opinion in we'll in
formed circles that there were yet
many obstacles to placing, such a loan.
and that in reality remedy for the
situation was no. nearer than several
days ago. when depreciation of foreign
moneys gave rise to alarm.
Two questions doomed large in the
discussion as to the practicability Of
American bankers attempting to un
derwrite a loan to Great Britain or her
allies. or both, of from $500. 100000 to
$780, 100000. These questions We're:
Would. the. Washington administra-
ton regard the underwriting of
loan Of this sort as against
the spirit of American neutrality?
Could a loan of these huge proper
tions be placed in this country if I'M
derwritten on terms that Great Britain
could afford to grant?
