Foreign L Exchange,

In reference TO the foreign exchange
market, the New York Herald quotes
Mr.. Henry Clews Ar say ing q" hat Nav
York has, for the present AT least, su-
perseded London in discoIuting bills Of
exchange. The banks, trdst companies
and capitalists OF this city no Id at least
$50, 600, 600 OF such obligations. For
merly merchants and others bought
these bills and transmitted them at
once to their London bankers, where
they were discounted Had this course
been adopted during the last few
months bills would have been thrown
upon the market in such amounts az to
severely depress the rate, and gold
must have come this way in large sums.
The Bank of England, seeing this,
sagaciously advanced its rate to per
cent and while money commands
that figure in London and is worth only
IL per cent here no gold may be ex-
pected. Srill, the balance of exchange
rules in our favor TO the extent of $780,
900, 900 at least at the present time, and
this country is helping England &c
bridge over her dilemma by carrying
this load, which legitimately belongs te
London"
