Foreign Exchange Hysteria.

International bankers took pains to
reiterate explanations made so often IN
the last few days that there was no
cause for what they termed the
hvsteris in the foreign exchange mar
ket They said il was apparent that
the situation was not causing British
bankers such great concern as many
seemed 10 assume or more definite
remedia, measures would have been
sdopted before this. They recalled the
situation a year ago-eXactly the re-
verse from what il is now. Then Eng
land was worrying over how our great
debt 10 her would be met. Neverthe-
less. il was paid, and largely with gold.
Now many manufacturers and even
bankers are greatly agitated over how
Furope is going 10 continue paying for
its enormous purchases, with pros
meets that these will be further in
creased bv the export of large share
81 This wears crops. This Will doubt
less be assisted by the establishment Of
large credits here, expected 70 result
from the arrival OF France and Eng
lsrd's foremost bankers. With these
snissaries not only New York's finan-
ssrs but bankers and business men
from ali parts OF the country Will con-
fer. as il is recognized that the PROB
lem is one Of nationwide importance,
h is believed that the question OF col
lateral for the expected loan will be
settled by the acceptance Of not only
American securities, but those OF Can
ada and South America, which hold
them in large quantities.

The great trunk lines, in their
statements OF result Of operations in
July, made good predictions that the

them slight attention. The New York
Centrals system reported net more
than one-third above that Of last year
and the Pennsylvania lines almost one
fourth higher. Economical operation

ments have adjusted themselves to

such remarkable increases in net:

is true that last July general business

as Is cents a pound, payable on deiiv-

COTTON VALUES
DROP SLIGHTLY
Market Declines 10 Points
but the Close Is
Steady.

A sharp, early advance in the cotton
market yesterday carried prices back
to nearly the high level Of last Mon
day, but attracted heavy realizing. and
the close was steady at q net decline
Of from 10 to 10 points for the day
January contracts, which sold up to
10.42c at the opening, or 80 points
above the low level Of Tuesday morn
ing, broke to 1o.17c in the late trading.
and closing prices were within 3 or 4
points Of the lowest, although the final
tone was steadied by reports of bet
ter turn in the market for sterling ex-
change.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance Of 9 to ~ points on a renewal
Of the recent buying movement. Pri-
vate cables attributed the sharp ad-
vance in Liverpool to the decline in
sterling rates, which would increase
the cost of importations, and the un-
settled condition of exchange is con-
sidered against any general export
business from the South. The fact
that Liverpool responded so sharply to
the decline in the rate, however, was
taken by many local traders as indicat-
ing desire at attract shipments, and
this may have encouraged the early
buying movement, while demand was
al 81 1afa kt,o -,
peratures in the South and increasing
confidence in the smaller estimates of
the crop. There was heavy realizing
around the opening figures. and while
offerings were pretty well absorbed by
a broadening Wall Street and outside
demand, with the market again frming
up after the publication of bullish
weekly weather report, prices broke
again in the late trading on continued
proft-taking, local and Southern SELL
ing.
Reports were received from both
Alabama and Georgia claiming that
planters were showing a disposition to
sell freely at SC or better in the in
terror, and talk of increased Southern
offerings was accompanied by rumors
of heavier hedge selling around the
local ring. These were doubtless fac
tors on the reaction, and selling was
also encouraged by the predictions OF
clear and warmer weather west of the
belt. The weekly report Of the Wealth
err Bureau said that the crop had made
very little progress during the week,
and that wet weather in Texas had
caused further injury, delayed picking
and caused some rotting OF bolls, with
somewhat similar conditions prevailing
in Arkansas. Southern spot markets
as officially reported were 10 points
lower TO 20 points higher, Augusta be-
ing relatively firm, while Houston re-
ported the greatest decline. Exports
for the day were 2,7l4 bales. making
157,061 so far this season.
