EXCHANGE ON LONDON
Is SLIGHTLY FIRMER
Price Is Still Below Point Of
Gold Pool Shipments to
Canada.
NO GERMAN COTTON BILLS

Exchange on London was somewhat
nrmer YESTERDAY as compared with the
day before. In view OF tho sensational
break during the last few day. a slight
recovery was not unexpected. Demand
closed AT 40. az compared with 4s9n
the day before. while cables sold nj
1904, against 4.90& Marks were quoted
at ssh for checks and ss1s for cables,
while francs sold at SIS for sight drafts
and 5.l4 for cables
The most satisfactory aspect OF the
entire market as far as the financial dis
trict was concerned was that exchange on
London was san below the gold export
point TO Canada and that as long as rates
remained as they were II would be un-
necessary to part with any more of our
gold either for gold pool shipments or
for individual payments
Foreign exchange men said yesterday
that the cotton bills were continuing 10
come into market and that the offerings
were steadily nearing normal. Questions
as TO whether Germany had been pur-
chaser OF cotton brought the answer from
several OF the leading foreign exchange
houses mat they had not dealt in any
bills against cotton destined for German
ports. The most conservative said that
while they had received offers OF cotton
Intended for Germany via Scandinavian
ports they had refused 10 purchase them.
II was said that II Germany had pur-
chased any cotton In this country she had
done so by means OF credits already estab-
lished here and that actual cash payments
had been made.
II is interesting to note that sone OF
the heaviest OF the New York city oblga-
tons abroad fall due during the month of
November. These, however. have been
fully taken care OF up TO November Is.
Foreign exchange men remain confident
that II our exports OF foods,uffs, cotton
supplies and munitions of war continue
at their present rate shall not see a
return of the present high rates. Such
n condition, however. is entirely dependent
on the allies retaining control OF the sea
Should England be decisively defeated in
a naval engagement a thing which Is not
generally believed likely. exchange would
undoubtedly soar again. as we would
then be unable to mako shipments TO the
allies and would once more be forced to
pay our maturing obligations in gold via
Canada

Treasury yesterday for shipment to

Decline In Exchange.

The decline IN foreign exchange has
been welcomed generally as the most
gratifying development that could occur.
Enthusiasts are predicting with pleasant
anticlpatlons a possible further fall to a
level OF 40 for sight sterling and OF
almost anything for marks. Apparently
It Is tho popular idea that an ABNORMAL
decline OF this kind would be as favor
able to the situation as the recent alb
normal advance was unfavornble.
II should be remembered. however. that
a fall OF this character in foreign ex-
change would scarcely be All unmlxed
good. Il would furnish a direct invita-
ton TO foreign liquidation oS securities,
a sharp decline In rates would in effect
amount TO the placing OF premium over
tho closing prices established for Ameri-
can stocks abroad. The fall that has
occurred has already made far better
market for the foreigner TO sell In.
Take the position OF the German in
weston. With exchange at IS he can cell
his securities AZ much lower prices than
with marks at s5 or parity. and still real
lie the same from the transaction. In
other words the cost OF RENTING the pro-
ceeds Is n big factor IN influencing fqui-
dalton. During the recent period OF high
exchange former foreign holders OF our
stocks left tho proceeds to their credit
hero simply because OF the expense Of
buying the necessary exchange.

The committee of Ave announced yes
terday that listed stocks would hereafter
not be quoted Elk dividend In the private
trading now being done under the super
vision OF tho authorities. That IL to say,
where q stock has onco been quoted eN
dividend since the exchange closed no
further deductions will he made in the
minimum prices when the books Of the
company close for IA second dividend.
The reason given was that TO allow q
second deduction in tho minimum price
of a stock on account of another dividend
would reduce the rule TO an absurdity.
This may be true, but the question is
thereby raised as to tho purpose of allow
ing q deduction in tho first place n not
now. II the committee was to maintain
price limits arbitrarily without regard 20
dividends, why was not this attitude
adopted at the start7
Atchison was quoted e1 dividend q few
days after the exchange closed. The
~ per cent. dividend was deducted from
tho closing price OF July 80 and bids
at a minimum price of $50 have been
approved since. On Friday next Atchison
will again DO quoted ex dividend. but tho
price will remain tho same. Therefore
on Thursday Il will be possible to buy
Atchison with a dividend on at sSiS
while on Friday the price limit will re-
main the same in spite OF the fact that

icaliy raising the minimum price OF

IL has been said that with the war

that there should be an early cessation OF
