WAR LOAN RATES
TEMPT CHICAGO
Western Capital Now Be-
ing Freely Invested in
Foreign Securities.
Chicago, September %.
By SRINIVAS X. WAGEL.

The Chicago bankers ambition is TO
catch up with New York. He has no
doubt that within the next forty years
Chicago will be as big a financial CEN
ire as New York. The banks in Chicago
seem to be always full of people. The
bankers take pride in the fact that
they never turn away any customer,
and they take in any amount, however
small il may be. Most of the larger
banks have savings departments, which
take any amount from 81 upward. and
this accumulation gives a total of many
millions Of dollars for the banks to
invest. This money comes from the
earnings of the rich and poor alike,
and banking here is not the special
perogative of the very we'll TO do, as in
New York.
The bankers In Chicago say they are
unjustly accused of not paying suf-
fcient attention to foreign trade and
international finance. They state that
for decades the industries Of Chicago
furnished the goods upon which our
foreign trade was built, and thai since
the war started there has been more
activity in that direction in this centre
than possibly any other single place in
the country.

NEW LOAN HITS
BRITAIN'S BONDS
Government Securities Are
Lower as Issue Is
Announced.
By FRANCIS W. HIRST.
fpv Cahle "a Tbs Tribune.

London, Sept. 29.-The effect OF
the Treasury's announcement of the
issue of three-year 6 per cent bonds
caused a universal decline in govern
ment securities and recent buyers of
exchequer bonds were hard hit. The
rate of interest takes US back to the
Napoleonic wars, when per cent
consols fell several times below so;
but the three-year limit marks this
rate as purely temporary, and de-
clines in home securities, excepting 5
per cent exchequer bonds, are very
slight.
Thus 21a per cent consols still are
above 50, which indicates the true
strength of British credit and conf
dence of the investing public. The
French loan and many other sound
considerations tell against the issue
of any long-date loan, which is urged
by some city experts. Bankers gen.
orally much prefer the present plan,
which was reached after close discus
sion and careful consideration.
To-day's sensations are Hollweg's
speech and the Lloyd George inter
view. The latter suggests pessimism
regarding the wars duration, but
Georges more recent letter, printed
yesterday, to the National Liberal
Club, spoke of the Rehabilitation OF
the army when the time comes, at no
very distant date, trust, for the
restoration of peace conditions"
Runciman's Dewsbury speech is re-
garded as important. He refuses to
fix maximum prices, preferring high
prices to shortage, and declares
plainly neutrals need not have any
anxiety concerning the objects of the
blockade.

any trade advantage" Runciman
said.

Borrowing at Minimum.

One should not. however. ignore the
fact that the cheapness of money and
the continued increase in SURPRISES
have had great influence in inducing
the banks TO enter the realms of inter
rational finance. Bankers generally
Rave been complaining of the narrow
margin of profits during recent months;
hut the recent experience in industrial
centres is that. in spite Of the extreme
activity in manufacturing, borrowing is
at a minimum. 1t became a serious
question with the banks. and Chicago
with its increasing SURPRISES was par
ticularly affected. The banks in this
city have not willingly taken the new
step, in spite of the comparatively large
returns. 1t is moot question for Chi
cago. as well as other centres, what
might happen when manufacturing
credits begin TO be on a different bass
than they are to-day Now, however.
they are utilizing the only means Ct
using the surplus money and getting
some profit for themselves.

Except for the higher rate of interest
when is payable every six months, the
conditions are the same as those Of
the previous issues.
The bonds and the interest on them
are exempt from British taxation if
held by persons neither domiciled nor
ordinarily resident in the United King
dom or Ireland. The chief criticism of
the new bonds comes from holders Of
the old stock, on which the yield is
lower.

Current

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money IN terms OF the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for $i.75il: the intrinsic par
ity is Si.S65s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds arc at dis
count or that dollars are at a premium.
which is owing TO the fact that in
England the demand for dollars with
which 20 settle accounts in this coun-
try is greater than the demand in this
country for pounds with which 70
settle accounts in England.
