Foreign Stock Markets
Badly DemOralized

Copyright 1915 by the New York
Evening Post)
New York, Aug, l6.--Demoralization
of the foreign exchange market was the
overshadowing Influence on the stock
exchange. There appeared to be no
stopping Of the decline in exchange at
low level of AGA for sight drafts on
London and the market five cents below
the level which prevailed at the close
Saturday.
There was almost as striking break
in New York exchange on Paris to 6.02,
meaning six francs, or not quite one
dollar. Exchange in other foreign
markets was unsettled and developments
in some respects were more extraordi.
nary than during the first week Of the
war.
The fluctuations gave interest to the
necessity for quick action by foreign
bankers toward returning to normal
conditions and preventing further de
moraliaation Of exchange rates. It is
evident some comprehensive program
must be determined upon in London If
the decline is to be checked. Negota.
tions are being conducted between bank
ing interests here and in London, but no
announcement has been made. Indica
tios are, however, that some credit will
be established so London will be able 10
draw for immediate needs.

ture from this government 8 policy of a
large standing army under the new pro-

phOsized in the note to Austria denying
the necessity of an embargo upon ex,
portation of munitions to the allies. In
this note, the administration said:
1T has never been the policy of this
country to maintain in time of peace
large military establishment of stores
of arms and ammunition.
Officials believe, however, that ad-
herence to this policy does not bar plans
for a large reserve army and an in.
creased navy or a complete reserve Of
ammunition supply.
