AMERICAN BANKERS
LIKE TERMS OF LOAN
But Surprised That 1t Is for
Only $500, DOT, 900.

Bankers and investors in all parts OF
the United States were enthusiastic yes
terday regarding the terms of the new
Government loan. the amount, only
$4,000. 600. 600. being the most surprising
feature. The consensus was that the
new loan Is to be put out on as near a
business basis as could be managed by
the Government, ana all Indications
were that the new loan will meet with
an unusually favorable reception.
In Wall Street there was an immedi-
ate response in prices OF stocks and
bonds and with the sole exception OF
Liberty ANS, with which the new 30 &
will be in direct competition, the stand
ard issues were marked up during the
day.
Tie moderate size OF the loan was
particularly satisfactory to bankers, who
nevertheless continue to emphasize the
reed Of teamwork and cooperation. There
IL no doubt in any quarter that the
loan can and will he fioated with an
oversubscription, and a tone OF conf
dence was not difficult 10 And.
The feature which received the most
attention in the financial district was the
interconvertibility of the two issues
the AZ per cent. taxable only as 10
Federal surfaces and the az per cent.
free from all taxes. The effect of this
interconvertiblity. It was thought, will
be to keep the prices of the two issues
on the market at a parity. because II
one falls too low It will be profitable
TO buy and convert into the issue COM
handing the higher price. In other words
the opportunity for arbitrage between
the Issues is expected to tend to keep
the prices of the two issues at the same
level.
II was pointed out that this intercon-
vertibility has a recommendation to the
rich investor in that he can subscribe
originally for the ~ per cent. note and
subsequently convert II into ga per
cent. tax free obligation. BY that ex-
pedient his real purpose avoiding taxes,
would not be disclosed. II that prac-
tice be resorted TO TO any great extent
the 40 per cent issue, II was said,
would show a large original subscrip-
tion over the 3&s s, although In course OF
time the conversions might make more
OF the So per cent notes outstanding.
Thomas Cochran OF J. +. Morgan 4
Co. In commenting on the terms OF the
loan. said: THE interest rate to be
borne by the Victory Liberty Loan is SO
fair and the taxation features so liberal
l firmly believe the issue will 20 well.
The limit as to the amount offered and
the interest rate will have little effect,
I believe, on prices OF outstanding Lib
erty bonds"
F. d. Barlow, vice-president Of the
First National Bank. said: There is
little question that the Victory Loan will
be a success owing to the limited offer
ing. the attractive rate and the short
maturity. The terms OF the Victory is
sue already have reflected strength in
prices for outstanding Liberty bonds"

Guaranty Trust Company. said: ~ ap-

National City Company, believes that
the loan should prove pronounced sue
cess. II think" said he. that Mr.. Glass
has made excellent decisions in regard
to amount and rates. The rates on the
two issues should prove particularly at
tractive to all classes Of investors. 1t Is
difficult to say which of the two issues
will produce the greater subscriptions,
but think both will be big.
1T is a good thing that the Secretary
has confined the loan to the relatively
small amount OF $4,000, 000. 900. He
says that this will be the last popular
loan, but he admits that he may have
to resort to other borrowings to meet
current requirements, presumably GER
tifcates of Indebtedness placed among
the banks. TO which objection cannot
fairly be made. The banks do not mind
the revolving certificates which con-
tribute to their funds the desired liq-
uidity. AS Mr.. Glass has confined the
loan to three or four years it will give
him an opportunity perhaps OF refund
ing the issue into a lower rated obliga-
ton"
Mr.. Glass used eminently sound judg-
ment in fixing the terms OF the loan
said member of a prominent banking
firm. THE terms cannot be character
lied as being other than attractive and
the loan should he successfully 1Qated
provided that the public does not become
over confident. Aside from rates and
short maturity the most attractive fea-
lures Of the issue are absolute Limitation
OF subscriptions to n figure lower than
expected. and the fact that the public
will not be appealed to again.
Still the amount the Secretary Of the
Treasury calls for Is large. and while
there can be hardly doubt about the
final outcome 1t will require considerable
effort to accomplish fiotaton, particu-
larly as every endeavor should be made
to place the notes in the hands of the
lesser subscribers and relieve corpora
tons from the necessity OF subscribing
for any large amounts. since they are
already burdened with large holdings OF
the previous Issues, while their earnings
are not running as high as they did be-
fore the cessation OF hostilitisp"
