FOREIGN EXCHANGE
 MARKET CONDITION
Apparent That Successful conclu-
 sion is Being Reached

Washington. Nov. 5.-Although there were no further conference at the treasury today on the foreign ex- change situation, 1t became more than ever apparent that negotiations be- tween the representatives of the Eng fish government and the federal re- serve board are reaching a successful conclusion.
 .oIr Sseorge Paish and Basil B. Back cit, the English representatives, prob ably will meet with Secretary McAdoo ana the board again tomorrow and definite encouragement may follow within the next few days.
 Despite the fact that some officials declared today that the re-openIng Of the Londonn and New Tor kstock ex- changes was not purpose of the con- ference, it became known that this question is considered of vital import ance when conditions in the foreign exchange market are under considera- ton. New l ork bankers and members of the board in these conferences have expressed the fear that unless safe guards are provided, a re-opening in London might have marked effect through the sale of large quantities of American stocks and bonds.
 It is fairly well established in the minds Of officials here that the New York exchange will not reopen until after January l. and 1t has been the idea of many in many quarters that the London exchange will not reopen much before that in New York.

 Embargo Is Absolute.
 Supplementing the federal quaran- tire against interstate movement of cattle from Illinois. the state livestock board ordered quarantine also to take effect Saturday, when no cattle shipments are to be permitted between the states until all cattle pens are dis infected and pronounced usable by the state board. The state action puts absolute embargo not only on the stock yards but also on all the live stock receiving depots of the big meat packers.
 What Meat Packers Say.
 The meat packers said today there would be no tieup of their industry, no scarcity of meat and, except in the killing and some mechanical depart merits. no laying eff of help, as the present supplies Of cattle were suff1-
 
 almost all the quarantine period
 Fifteen per cent. of the acreage of the stock yards was reported as hav- ing already been disfnfected. Business will be resumed as soon as the quar- antine is lifted
 Cattle Destroyed.
 Few new cases of the disease were reported today. The six hundred in- feeted cattle, valued at o000 which were held to blame for the presence of the disease in Chicago, were des- troyed. Eighteen prize cattle out oi a lot of 1000 exhibited last week al the National Dairy show also were destroyed. NB. J. Shanley, state veter- marian. said the remaining prize cat tie brought here from twenty states and Canada would be held for devei- opments and if they were found in- fected, all of them would be destroyed even though 1t might entail loss o1 several million dollars.
 Illinois has decided to cooperate with the federal government in every possible way" said MT. Shanley. -If the disease should spread to the west ern ranges, we never would be able to rid the country of 1t"
 On behalf of the packers, F. E. White, director of Armour & Co. is- sued this statement:
 |. No Occasion for Excitement.
 Tnere IS no OccaSlOn Tor sexc1rc- ment over the quarantine adopted by the government and state authorities. While the restrictions are drastic. we all believe that they will be effective. There will be no material slackening of business. Killing floors will be idle for about a week and other depart ments will work as usual, as we have ample supplies of products for all re- quirements.'
 The National Livestock show, set for one week beginning November 2s, 1t was said, probably will be called off.
