LEAVES ADJUSTMENT OF
BALANCES TO BANKERS
Drop in Exchange Rates Ends Plans
of England and U. s.

LONDON. Jan. s.--The Treasury Of
floially announced today that, in view of
the fact that exchange between the United
States and the United Kingdom has be-
come practically normal, there ls no
longer any necessity for further con-
sideration by the two Governments of
any plan for the adjustment of balances.
and that the question has been left to
the respective bankers Of the two coun-
tries.
1t has already been felt in financial
circles that any such artificial measures
as the establishment of q S100, 900 credit
in London against which America could
draw to pay her debts 20 England are
now unnecessary. When Sir George
Palsh returned to London with II. p.
Davidson and other New York inanclers
to arrange some solution of the ex-
change situation, II was predicted that
this scheme would be adopted,
Even now It is admitted that some pro-
vision should be made against war emer-
gencles which may arise and again dis
arrange credit machinery Whether this
will take tho form of modification of
the original scheme or of some fresh
measure is not known.
Mr.. Dawson and Willard Straight, who
are representing ]. p. Morgan & Co
in these negotiations, left yesterday for
Paris on q short business trip.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Oficial an
nouncement was made by tho Treasury
Department of the conclusion of nego-
tiations looking to the adjustment of ball
ances between the United States and
Great Britain. The statement was identi-
cal with that Issued in London.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
MADE BY WHEAT IN
CHICAGO MARKET
Offerings Small and Com
mission Demand Large.
Farmers Still Won't Sell.
Talk $3.50 for May.

CHICAGO, Jan, Sin response to
strength at Liverpool, wheat here scored
new high records again this morning
May opening up % at $780, and July B
higher at s12s to s125h Offerings were
small and the commission demand was
large. Some important firms were sellers
The statistical position was declared to
be unprecedentedly strong because of the
competition between exporters and mlllers
refuse to sell. Some interests were talk
ing S1.5O for May. There is large in
duiry for flour. The stocks of flour in
warehouses here are $1,000 barrels.
Absorption by foreigners at the ad-
vance and belief at Liverpool that
American reserves will be inadequate
caused large holders of spot there to
were up Is, Sd. Shipments from Argen-
tina for the week were light, only 10000
bushels against 2SS,OOO bushels last year.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were Sl3 cars, against BOG cars a
year ago; at Winnipeg, Il cars, against
15s cars; at Chicago, 95 cars against 80
cars. The visible supply in Argentina is
100000 bushels, against 2,24O,OOO bushels a
year ago. The weather there is generally
favorable, but there are complaints of
disappointing harvesting returns from the
south and centre.
The weather in France continues favor
able for new seeding. Native offers there
are light and the demand from millers is
heavy. 1t is understood that Italy is
again bidding for all offers Flour at
Liverpool was marked up Cd.
Corn was frmer but not active. The
market at Liverpool was strong on
lighter Plate offers.
