 FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Financial Forces of United States and Great Britain Working Out Soiu- ton.

Washington, Oct 23.-Financial forces of the government, the wisdom of some of the most prominent men in the American banking world and the friendly counsel of representa- tives of Great Britain were turned to- day toward 8 solution of the problem of a readjustment of the foreign ex- change market to meet conditions which have arisen as a consequence of the European war.

 English treasury. and some of the
 best known bankers in New York, discussed in all it's aspects.

Here are the salient points discussed in the conference and the results anticipated:
 American bankers stand ready to
 pay their obligations to England in | cash. The $100,00O.o00 gold pool al- ready formed and $s0.000,000 raised | by a New York syndicate to meet
 New York city's obligations probably will suffice to satify England. Pay | ment of this total may not be neces- l Sary.
