War Reverses Fail
To Scare British
Security Buyers
Demand for Long Term,
GiIt-Edged Issues
Persists in Week
BY EDWARD ROBINSON,
Wide World Foreign STAFF.

LONDON, July 18.-The men who
had money to buy stocks ignored
war news this week to invest in
long term "gilt-edged" securities.
Russian retreats, serious shipping
reports and the Libyan stalemate all
failed to dampen enthusiasm and
the British war loan itself was
boosted a point, adding in the aggre-
gate around $300,000,000 to stock
values in fortnight, observers said.
In the speculative sections, South
American bonds again attracted in
terest, with Brazilian and Chilean
loans favorites.
