TO FLOAT BRITISH LOAN.
American Bankers to Lend 5000, ,OOO,.
900.


900.
New York, Oct. 25.-Oficial an
nouncement was made today by j. p.
Morgan & Co., that a new British
loan by American bankers, aggre-
eating 100000, 900. had been ar
ranged. 1t will bear interest at 6 1-2
per cent. and be payable in two in
stallments, one Of three and one of
i've years.
According to the announcement the
loan was arranged in advance of the
time contemplated by the British
government because of the easy mon
ey market and it is expected, to cause
for q time ut least a cessation of the
enormous inflow of gold to this coun-
try, which Is said to have caused ap-
prehension In banking circles because
Of danger Of imitation and fictitious
values. j. p. Morgan sailed for Eng
land recently to arrange the loan and
is still there.
"A new British government loan
Offering" says the statement, had
not been In contemplation at the
present time but the prevailing ease
Of the money market and the difficult
ty which the banks are having In
proftably employing their funds have
led us to indicate to the British gov
ernment that the present is a favora-
BILE time for 1t to establish additional
credits in America. even though such
credits may not be Immediately re-
quired. Accordingly the British treas
ury has today accepted the views of
the American bankers and has au-
thorized them to proceed"
Final details have not been ar
ranged but the notes to be issued
will be amply secured by high grade
collateral"
