trials is now for the time clearly dis
closed by the list Mr.. Dawson gave out
of industrial stocks which form part
of the one hundred million American Sc
curity. The conspicuous feature revealed
by a study of this list was the omission
of any of the securities of the United
States Steel corporation. Yet at one time
London held very large blocks of these
securities and the presumption was strong
before the list was published that United
States Steel common would be named in
the list The absence of this stock from
the list served to confirm the belief that
if there still be any stock of the steel
company held abroad it is either so held
as not to endanger the market-that is to
say, it is permanently held-or else the
British investors of this security have
parted with their entire holdings Which
ever reason be the correct one it I'M
doubtedly explains, in part at least, the
phenomenal appreciation in the market
quotation of the United States Steel cor
poration's common stock. 1t is noticed
that while England included some West
ern Union stock in the collateral which
she offered, no mention is made of tele-
phone stock. The presumption is strong
that perhaps the largest English invest
ment in American industrials was in the
preferred stock of the American Tobacco
company. The published lisc reveals how
ra pidly the United States is changing
from debtor to a creditor nation.

claim expectations have become too

THE AMERICAN COLLATERAL

The list given out by HI. p. Dawson
of j. p. Morgan & Co, of securities upon
which the new British loan of $3.50, O0O :
900 stands represents a value of hun
dred millions. This. is not large amount
If it be true that there still remain in the
hands of European investors American
securities of the value of $1,000 600 COO.
Nevertheless, the presumption is strong
that should the European war continue
until the year 1918, as many believe it
will, Great Britain will again approach
the American market for new loan
BY that time, the British government
may have modified considerable part
of the American securities still in the
hands of English investors.
There was instant study of the list
which was given out by Mr.. Dawson, es-
pecially that portion of it which iden-
titled the American industrial securities
which form a part of the block of Amer
lean securities deposited by Great Brit
ain on account of her loan. There was
also important recognition of the fact
that either Great Britain has no Erie
common stock, or if she has has not
chosen to make use of it. In Great
Britain there has been the same liking
for Erie common stock which for years
has characterized American bankers when
they are inspecting a list of collateral
securities upon which to base call loans.
Frederick d. Happen, whose bank for
manv years occupied in the business of
loaning money upon call, always care
fully scrutinized the list of securities Of
fered by would-be borrowers hoping to
find in that list some Erie common stock.
He regarded it as a security of especial
value because, as he said, it was always
possible to instantly sell Erie common in
spite of the fact that 1t was nondivi-
dend paying stock. Mixed in with other
collateral, it was welcome as security. So.
also, in London, Notwithstanding the
early experience of English investors in
the Erie, the common stock has been ac-
ceptable as collateral for loans because
there was always an instant market for
1t were it necessary to sell it. None of
this stock appears in the list which was
given out by Mr. Dawson. In fact, the
entire railroad list was regarded as a
rather narrow one, although if it were
known what proportionate part of the ag-
gregate security of hundred millions
these American stocks formed, it is likely
that they would be found to be the great
er proportion.

Hayden of Boston, whose opinions upon
financial and business conditions are held
in high esteem, is quoted as having said
a few days ago to friends in Butte, Mon
tana, that two years ago there were held
in Europe American securities worth ap-
proximately s6,Ooo,OOOOOo. Within two
years we have absorbed a good part of
these securities, but it is Mr.. Hayden
opinion that there still remain in the
hands of investors in Europe. American

In 1884, shortly after the so-called Grant
and Ward panic, careful estimate was
made by the late Frederick D. Tappen,
one of the executives of the New York
Clearing House organization, which fixed
the amount of European loans to Ameri-
can railroad companies and also upon
farm mortgages at approximately $4,000
G0O,U0 Almost all of the money which
was secured by the railroads of the Uni
ted States for improvements ard for new
construction between 1879 and 1884 was
obtained in Europe. At that time, Eu-
iOpC lidu liOt lHFeSlSu greatly IN Amer
lean industrial securities. Investment of
that sort did not begin upon a large
scale until some years later. AT the time
of the organization of the so-called sugar
trust, it was the understanding that Eu-
rope, chiefly Great Britain, had taken
a large amount of the securities of this
great industry.
Two or three years after the Inaugural
ton of William Mckinley as President,
in 1897, the movement of our international
trade set so strongly in favor of the
United States that large blocks of Amer
lean securities were utilized in liquidat-
ing balances At that time, Mr. Happen
was chairman of the clearing house COM
mttee, having supervision over the i'm
ports of gold which in about three
months aggregated nearly 500, 900 900.
After this gold movement ceased, Mr..
Tappen made another estimate which
fixed the amount of foreign held Ameri-
can securities which were then absorbed
by the United States at about 1000, OC0, :
0Oo If, therefore, Mr.. Hayden's estimate
be correct of the amount of American
securities held abroad when the Euro
pean war began, there must have been
a great increase of foreign investments,
both in American railroad and industrial
securities since the beginning of the pres
ent century. - -. 49,

Most thin people stay thin because their

absorb just enough of the food they eat
to maintain life and a semblance of health
and strength. Stuffing won't help them.
A dozen meals day won't make them gain
a single stay there pound. All the fat
producing elements of their food just stay
there in the intestines until they pass

need is something that will prepare these
