London, Nov. 26.
Success of the issue of the Government's £300 millions 3 per cent. Loan is in danger of prov ing an embarrassment.
For the £300 millions, approxi- mately £400 millions were offered. Because they expected it to be a big success many people applied for more than they hoped to get were prepared to hold. per- manently.
or
cany
to
They had only to pay £5 per 400 of stock. It was apply, the next payment being one of £52 10s. per cent., due on Dec. 1. Stags-as these would be temporary holders and profit- seekers are called-have been caught out.
Recently the new loan changed hands at a discount or £108., which means that the fo worth of stock paid for last week fetched only £1 10%.
A Gamble
An applicant, for instance, who paid down last week £250 as áp- plication money, has allotted to hlm £5,000 of stock, on which on Dec. 102 10s. per cent. will be due and on Feb. 1 240 per cent. A small cash payment entitled ap- plicants to twenty times as much tonn.
There is nothing in the present ituation to cause genuine in- vestors in the new loan to sell. The drop comes purely from sales by speculators who never intended to hold the stock. They took the gamble of selling at a profit und the gamble has been against them. The discount on the now loan does not mean that the Govern- mont's Conversion Operations have not been a success. It is im- possible to eliminate the "Stags" In any appilention list. He elimine: ntes himself by selling. That process must soon be over, and by the time £178 millions is paid out on Dec. 1 to holders of per cent. War Loan and 4% per cent. War Loan, part of that money should find its way into the gilt-edged market for refnvestment.
There has been no change in Britain's credit to warrant selling of Government accurities. In- stead, it has been enhanced by rea son of the cheaper terms on which it can borrow.
