PUSHING
BIGLOAN
Tremendous Effort to Get
Out Every Available Shil-
ling on Last Day
(By Associated Press.)

London. Feb. ia tremendous eff
fort was made throughout Great
Britain today, the last day for sub
scriptions to the British war loan, to
bring in every available shilling. There
seems to be no question in financial
circles that the loan will be a sue
cess.
How large a total is necessary to
make the loan a success is a question
to which, no definite answer is avail
able. The national accounts indie tie
506,000,000 pounds of new money is
needed to insure a clean slate for the
government the next financial year on
April 1.
The last day of the loan effcIts
found London placarded with appeals
fIom end to end. Brokerage houses
and insurance offices have been food
ed with large and small applications.

dullness of the stock market is Of
course Of no real consequence save
for what it denotes. Prosperity in the
sense of material welfare Of the peo-
pie at large in no wise dependent upon
activity of the stock exchange, but
1t is dependent upon a free movement
of trade which seems to be more and
more clogged. The incentive to buy
under existing conditions is found
mainly in the belief that they will not
last long and that steps will soon be
taken both to restore American ships
to use and to lessen thu hardships
which existing transportation condi-
tons are imposing upon industry. On
the other hand most traders seem to
count on existing adverse conditions
lasting long enough to bring about a
further lowering Of market value OF
securities and at the moment are dis
posed to sell than others are to buy
Result is that prices are being de-
pressed in spite of the relatively small
amount of stock which is coming into
the market. It is a situation which
increases the uncertainty as to what
the market effect of the coming OF
war would be but there are many who
still adhere to the belief that the dec
laration of war would go far toward
clarifying the situation, instead OF
further beclouding 1t.

Grain Opinions.
Ware & Leland: Market has demon
strated that IL has been liQuidated. Be-
lieve purchases will do on good set
backs.
Logan & Logan: Prospects of new
demand springing up for either wheat
or -four overshadows all else and IL
likely to stimulate bullish enthusiasm
and sharply higher market.
Dennis: Can hardly buy grains on
bulges, but think they will continue TO
prove to be purchase on the breaks.
Watson: With better transportation
from our ports wheat should work
higher. Would buy all grains on reac-
tions and these will occur from over
bought pit conditions.
