Indications already point to over

did not want n loan at this time, but
as money Is so plentiful in this coun-
try. the government was urged to &C
cept 1t and did so.
The statement issued by J. P. Nor

"A new British government loan Of

THE British treasury has Of late re-
newed its shipments OF gold to this
country upon a large scale. This con-
tinued influx Of the metal has caused
some concern In the banking com
