Few United Kingdom
Notes Converted to
Twenty-Year Bonds
British Government ArranQes
for Payment of Issue Due
February

Holders of less thnn Sl,00O,00O Of
the 100000, 900 United Kingdom IA
per cent notes, due February ], have
exercised tho option of converting
them into twenty-ycar 5a per cent
bonds of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland. They still carry
the privilege of conversion, however,
even if ten days notice of intention
to effect the exchange has not been
given. according to an announcement
made yesterday by the British govern
mcnt through the Bankers Trust Com
pany. trustee for the notes.
The British government has, it is
understood, purchased about $G.00O,00O
OF the notes in the open market for
cancellation, leaving the amount still
in the hands of investors about
$4,000, 900.
Ihc notes are part Of a loan Of $780,
100000 to Great Britain arranged by
j. +. Morgan & Co. about year ago.
The other 81 COO, 900 consists Of two
year notes maturing February / next
year. The loan is secured by general
assortment OF American and other Sc
curltics.
w hSh tlts iOdll WAS announced n1uCn
emphasis was placed on the conversion
feature. A statement issued by J. p.
Morgan e. Co. at the time said, in
part:
increasing ease in money conditions
and the prevailing demand for high
grade bonds have led us to suggest
to the British Treasury the advisable
lty Of issuing at this time Il security
possessing the advantage of early ma
turity and at the same time giving
American investors, through the con-
version privilege, the opportunity to
obtain an obligation of Great Britain
yielding an attractive interest return
for considerable period Of years
after normal conditions shall have
been restored"
Bankers yesterday pointed out that
owing to the entrance of the United
States into the war investment condi-
tons had become considerably altered
since the United Kingdom loan was
brought out. and they attribute the
hesitancy of holders of the British
notes to convert them to that fact. 1t
was even suggested that good share
Of the money that will be paid out by
the British government when the
notes fall due, on the first of next
month, will be reipvcsted in the forth
coming issue Of Liberty bonds.

Exchange Rate ON
Argentina Helped
BY Credits Plan
Commercial Transactions
To Be Financed Without
Gold Shipments

The larger banks which ordinarily
do an extensive business in exchange
on South American countries have
been informed that the Federal Re-
serve Bank has effected an arrange
ment with the Banco de la Nacion at
Buenos Ayres under which CONNER
cial credits will be issued by the lat
ter institution against deposits Of
funds in New York. The Federal Re
serve Bank proposes to handle these
transactions on the basis Of par for
pesos plus 3 per cent commission to
cover what would be the usual cost OF
shipping gold to Argentina. This will
become, therefore, an assurance that
in trade with Argentina our dollar
will be worth at least 81 cents while
the war lasts, or until we sell to Ar
gentina as much goods as we buy from
that country.
Speculative Transactions Barred
Before such credits are issued it
will be necessary, however, tor banks
making the application to show that
exchange on Bucnos Ayrcs is wanted
to cover actual commercial transac
tions and is not sought merely to cf
feet transfer Of funds, possibly for
speculative purposes.
Meantime, several million dollars
more gold belonging to Argentina has
been deposited with the local Reserve
Bank since last Monday, when the Ma
tional City Bank turned over to that
institution $10,5O0,OOO in gold coin.
Under the arrangement between the
Treasury Department and the Banco
de la Nacion the amount that has been
tentatively fixed as the limit required
for stabilizing dollar exchange in Ar
gentina is $4,000, 900. This, however,
may be increased as the needs arise.
Basis for Currency
This gold, under an arrangement be-
ing worked by the Federal Reserve
Board, is to serve as the basis for the
issue of pesos notes in Argentina, pro-
ton necessary to that end. This, it is
pointed out, will be equivalent to the
expectation Of the actual gold now pro-
hibitcd by the embargo declared by the
United States and will make it possible
to settle the unfavorable balance OF
trade which has been bull. up against
this country as result of the large
excess in the value Of goods imported
from Argentina over our exports to
that country.
Exchange on Argentina moved in
favor of American exporters yesterday.
the rate for pesos going almost to a
dollar. compared with SO cents the day
before. Since the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington announced early
this month that an arrangement had
been made with the Argentine govern
ment by which American merchants
may cancel their indebtedness in the
South American republic without ship
ping gold New York exchange on
Buenos Ayres has improved steadily.
On December ID the American dollar
was quoted in Argentine pesos at 92.7O
and now it is quoted at $685..
Completion of negotiations for a
loan OF S2OOOOO,O0O to Great Britain
by the Argentine government, it was
said yesterday, has been an important
factor in helping to stabilize New York
exchange on Buenos Ayres.
