EXPECT LARGE BRITISH LOAN
TO BE ISSUED BEFORE LONG
Will Be Made Against American Securi-
ties Held or Borrowed

NEW YORK. Aug. 1o.-In influential
banking circles the statement is made that
negotiations which have been under way for
some time with respect to new British
loan of large proportions may come to q
head at any moment. One banker who Is
familiar with the whole matter said that an
official announcement of the loan might be
made sooner than had generally been ex-
pectde.
On the other hand he stated that nothing
absolutely definite and final has been done
so far, but that the negotiations have
reached such n stage that the whole matter
should move forward very rapidly
While bankers are unwilling to discuss
the details of the loan 1t is generally UNDER
stood that It will be made against American
securities held or borrowed by the British
Government. VIZ.
In the most active speculative circles
the opinion is held today that this feature
of the loan has been the most influential
factor in bringing about a sharp rise in the
leading railroad securities.
