HEAVY PURCHASES FROM
 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Have Become a Decided Factor in
 Foreign Exchange Situation.

New York, Oct. 21-Continued heavy purchase of various commodities and general merchandise in this country by agents of several of the European countries now at war have become a decided factor in the foreign exchange situation. Gables and sight drafts on London declined again today, but ral- lied slightly later as offerings of bills grew scarcer. At today's lowest quo tations London exchange was almost four cents lower to the pound sterling than in the early days of the month.
 Continental exchange was again purely nominal, but quotations on Ber- lin and Hamburg were lower. In this connection it is a matter of general belief in financial circles that German textile manufacturers have been among the largest buyers of that staple here recently, but just how or when deliv- cries are to be made in that country is not explained.
