as to developments la this country's
relations with Germany, as th result
of th destruction of the Arabic, fea
tured the foreign exchange situation
here today. Th possibility that
American bankera might bo called on
to fluance a large domestic loan gave
risa to many rumors concerning the
negotiations now pending over the
flotation of a SlsV.OOO.uos foreign credit
loan or soma other form of British
credit here.
"We can well concelv of such a sit
uation." was tho comment of one In
ternational banker whose views were
sought on this point.
A report that negotiations for the
flotation of a British credit loan of
from f l.(H)0.vov to t Ii9.u0d.000 to pay
for American supplies purchased by
foreign buyers had been virtually sus
pended waa denied.
Financial representatlvea here of the
allied powers, while asserting that the
attuatlon had become complicated by
reason of tho Arabic incident, refrained
from discussion of the prospect for
placing the contemplated foreign loan,
as did also domestic financiers.
Aside from the Arabic, the feature of
the day in foreign exchange markets
waa the reported decision of British
financier and Treasury authorities to
send a deputation of three men from
London to New York to arrange the
projected loan-
