loans previously made to foreign gov
 ernments. The feeling in banking
 circles here is that the easiest sort of
 foreign loan to place in this market is
 one secured by American collateral.
 In the case of the French credit all
 but a small part of the collateral con- sisted of the bonds of neutral coun- tries. In the case of the British
 credit as now proposed about one third of the collateral will be Ameri- can securities, which, of course, are much more familiar to bankers and Investors here than are most foreign securities. This market has already shown a keen interest in Canadian securities, and these more nearly ap- preach the status of domestic securi- ties than do any other foreign issues.
 As in the case of practically all the ether loans which we have made abroad, it is expected that the entire proceeds of this credit will be used to pay for goods purchased in the United States. The effect is that we are merely advancing money to a European customer to help pay for the goods we are selling. But not all the payment is being made out of the proceeds of loans Besides borrow ing here, England has been sending a very large amount of gold, and the is still under way. Yester- day we received about S9,000, 900 gold 1 making a total of about s14,0Oo,00 l received this week and a total of more ] than S200,000,00O since the beginning 1 Of May. Last year our net gold i'm 1 ports were $420,00O,O0O.

 FOR GREAT BRITAIN
Loan to Run Two Years With 5
 Per Cent. Interest

1 New York, Aug. 12.-The plan for
 q great British credit in this market to provide further funds for the pur- chase ot supplies in the United States was said in banking circles yesterday to be waiting only for the formal decision of the British gov- ernment to go ahead with the trans
 action. The chances yesterday were
 thought to be that that decision would
 be made in the very near future
 Since the proposal for a British
 credit began to take definite shape
 several forms of loans have been dis
 cussed The choice has now been
 made, and unless there is some
 eleventh hour change the new credit
 will take this form.
 A loan of s25O, 100000 to run two years and to be secured by, approxi- mately, S1OO,0OO,0 ,0OO of Canadian se- curities, from S7O,OOO, ,O0O to s1OO,-
 900, 900 of American securities, and the remainder by securities of neu- tral countries owned in England, in- cluding probably Argentine and Swiss issues. The loan is to bear interest at ' per cent, and, according to the pro- pOsal ma de to banking institutions which are expected to participate in me lIdHSdctlCl, IL Will De OfTered for l subscription at 99 and underwritten l af 9S. That would make the yield on ]! the subscription price a trfe better l than 1-2 per cent
 This financing would absorb only a small part of the American securities hich have been purchase or bor- roWad from their English holders by inc British government but it would nevertheless, have the effect of les sening to a large extent the American securities owned abroad which, if rot borrowed on here, might instead be sold and thus add to the floating supply of securities in this market
 Inasmuch as collateral Is to be pledged for the loan, it is assumed that the transa ction will not be put through directly, as was done in the case of the recent French credit which was arranged through an American corporation, the American Foreign securities company, which made the loan to France and in turn borrowed the money here. This same or sim liar medium could be used for the British credit
 A loan of the amount named would ! equal the English share of the $500,- 000,00O AngIo-French loan which vtas placed in this market last au tumn and. with the exception of that, N ouId be the biggest item of interna- ] ional financing done in this country. Being 3 secured loan. it falls under a ( different category from the unsecured

Fifty Former Progressives Regfste,
 Change of Heart-Again Join
Republicans.

That the progressive movement irI this city is practically a dead issue was attested by the two sessions of the registrars for the coming primaries. The final session was held yesterday from noon to p. m. and the maioritv of those who appeared registered with the republicans. Nearly 200 registered with the G. o. P. and about 15O with the democrats. Among those who changed allegiance were twenty dem ocrats and this was nearly counter- balanced by seventeen republicans who are evidently disgusted with the tac- tics being pursued by the opponents of President Wilson.
 By the registration the republicans apparently gained fifty votes on theft democratic opponents, but this is scarcely surprising in such 8 G. O. F. stronghold as New Britain is admitted to be.

back of the car bent in by the blow.
Luckily no one was in the way of the

Washington, Aug. 2S.-President
Wilson still believes he will find a way
to avert the strike. He practically
puts the matter in the hands of Sec

what he wants is to have both rides
agree TO submit all questions in dis-
pute to the congressional committee
under Senator Newlands, which is au-
thorized now to investigate wages, etc.
on all railroads. 1t is expected Pres
ident Wilson will tell the railroad
presidents that he can not accept their
counter proposal when it is submitted.
Senator Newlands goes into conference
with Acting Attorney General Todd

NO caoC lAAO FOUND.
PEARY THINKS THAT HE
,/fe sVERED 1T.
saXs ~ lay Not be Exactly Where He
Reposted, but is Probably in That
NeighbOrhOOd.

New York, Aug. 20.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary reiterates his
confidence in the existence of Crocker
land and his belief that he saw II in
July, 1906. The admirars state
ment, telegraphed to The Tribune
from his summer place in Maine,
was called forth by the fact that En-
sign Fitzhugh Green, the naval off,
Ger assigned to the Macmillan Crocker
land Arctic expedition, made no re-
port Of whether the expedition found
Crocker land in announcing to the
naval department his safe arrival at
Copenhagen on August 10.
After quoting from his original
narrative of the expedition his story
of the first view of what he believed
to be Crocker land, Admiral Peary
said:
1T may be that Macmillan and
were both misled by the, nearly per-
manent clouds Of condensation over
persistent lanes of water. Or nnusu-
al refraction which occurs irl the
Arctic regions may have lifted into
view land that was in reality well
below the horizon and my estimate Of
the distance Of Crocker land may
have been too moderate. 1t viii be
well to await the completion of Ste
fansson's discoveries before dismiss
ing Crocker land"
