THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

Washington, November 5.-Although there were no further conferences at the treasury today on the foreign exchange situation, 1t became more than ever ap- parent that negotiations between the rep resentatives of the English government and the federal reserve board are reach ing a successful conclusion.
 Sir George Paish and Basil B. Blackett, the English representatives, probably will see Secretary McAdoo and the board again tomorrow and some definite an nouncement may follow.
 Officials said today that reopenng of the London and New York Stock ex- change was not purpose of the confer ences. but 1t became known that this question is considered of vital importance in connection with the foreign exchange problem. New York bankers and mem- bers of the board have expressed fear that unless safeguards are provided, a reopening in London might have a marked effect through the sale of large quanti- ties of American stocks and bonds.
 It is fairly well established in the minds of officials here that the New York ex-
  ary l. and 1t has been the idea in many quarters that the London exchange will not reopen much sooner. There is every prospect that there will be a further un- derstandng when the exchanges open as to the scope of transactions to be permit ted. This may take the form of limi- tation in London upon actual sales of American securities and vice versa in New York. Through such arrangements both American and foreign shares would be protected and no large balance in favor of either country would be created through the desire of holders of securities to get rid of them. It has been suggested even that English authorities might be willing to strike American securities from the London exchange list for a specified pe- riod.
 How far Sir George Paish may have been able to convince his government that these suggestions are of the utmost importance Is not known. He Is said to realize that any marked financial de-

pression in this country would be severe ly reflected In England
 It was pointed out today that reopening of the exchanges depends to large de- gree on a restoration of normal condi- tions both here and in England. Condi- tions. officials say, are becoming normal once more In the United States. That opinion is based on an assumption that American trade will continue to flow with out serious interference to Europe and other parts of the world. How near nor nal English finance may be is hard for officials 5000 miles away to determine, but their close watch of reports of how the English government is financing the war and protecting banks and the whole struc- ture of English credit has led some of then to believe that nearly the usual situation obtains.

Receipt for Dutch Cabbage

One to whom our obligations are a1- ready great adds to the debt by the donation of yet another novel recipe:
 q want to give you my recipe for Dutch cabbage, then I will bow out for this time and, if I may I shall be glad to call again. Shred a medium sized head of cabbage fine. Put on to cook in a granite kettle. with just enough wa ter to keep it from burning. It should cook rather slowly and when done it should be free from water. Dressing Take an egg, half cup sour cream. vinegar, salt, pepper, and tiny bit of mustard. Mix dressing slowly and pour over the cabbage. Mix them and al- low them to come to a boil. I cannot say just how much vinegar to use. for some prefer more than others. l think one fourth of a cup Is good to try and the cook will have to regulate 1t to suit herself. This cabbage is delicious, eith- CT hot or gold, and many who cannot eat this vegetable cook ed in other ways will find no i'll results if this recipe is followed. hope the recipe I give will help many of the Cornerites, for they have helped me.

penses of these hidden stands.
Discussion is still going on over a
manager. Jack Dunn is coupled in
the betting with Bill Donovan, and it
is also understood that the Detroit
owners would let Hughey Jennings go
for a proper consideration. In which
endeavor the Tiger bosses are tight
wads. They should present Hughey
to the colonel nicely wrapped and
ready for mailing, all charges pre-
paid.
Dunn is not too highly regarded by
organized baseball people because he
sold all of his stars in the midst of
the last International league cam
paign and gave the Federals a clear
field in Baltimore. He has shown
great ability as a manager, however,
and sentiment plays small part in
business baseball.
If Donovan should be given the

Joe Tinker is said to be angling for
Roger Peckinpaugh, Yankee short

Clarence Rowland, new manager
