EXCHANGE DROP CHECKED
Further Decline Not Now Elk
pected for Several Weeks.

The decline in foreign exchange
rates reached its elimination yester-
day. and after "a session in which rates
never got as low as Mondays bottom
figures, demand closed at 4.90, OF prae-
tically unchanged. The check to the
downward movement came chiefly
through the broad demand at what was
considered by mercantile debtors a rea-
sonable war price for exchange. Just
after the outbreak of war, when eX-
change went to So and 81 pound ster-
ling, a number of European creditors
informed their debtors here that they
would not expect remlttances at any
such rates Of exchange, and that they
would be satisfied to wait until it re-
turned TO a level reasonably close to
normal. For some debtors 4.96 was the
settling point, but for much greater
number, so far as could be learned yes
tcrday, it was 4.9O.
Another check TO the decline was
brought by the knowledge that under
400 the banks which subscribed 10 the
city note issue, and which will shortly
be called upon for another instalment
of their payments for it, could and
would buy exchange. Turning IL IN to
the syndicate managers at the agreed
price of 4.90, they would make a slight
profit. November is the heaviest month

that they were prepared to revise their
predictions at almost any time, because
