TOPICS OF THE DAY
IN WALL STREET
American Bankers In No
Haste TO Bolster Up
Exchange Market.
STERLING RALLIES
ON STRONG BUYING
Experts Believe Situation May
Help to Right Itself-Stock
Market Quiet.

Sterling exchange rallied strongly
yesterday, closing u cents in the
pound higher than on Tuesday, we'll
above the theoretical gold import point
from London, though still below the
import point for gold from Ottawa.
During the day Max May, OF the Guar
anty Trust Company, and John +. Gar
din, of the National City Bank, visited
the Offices of J. 2. Morgan Il Co. and
explained their views, as foreign eX-
situation, but there was nothing in
the nature Of formal conference. As
was reported yesterday, whatever will
be done in the course of time must be
suggested from England. English bank
ers have gone no further yet than to
ask the views of some of their Ameri-
can correspondents as to what may be
considered practical in the way of pre-
venting, should occasion arise, any
extreme decline in sterling rates. In
the opinion Of some Of the experts
here the exchange problem may solve
itself. Expecting Germany TO have
some measure Of success IN her sub
marine attacks on merchant vessels,
they say that shippers here will be un-
likely TO resort TO English steamers
because these will certainly be blown
I'D il thew are caught. On the other
hand, Germany is not likely to destroy
neutral vessels, II it is possible to
avoid il. But as there is only COM
paratively small supply Of these, It
must be expected, they sny, that eX-
ports will fall off And that means less
exchange to come upon the market.

CHICAGO WHEAT
DECLINES AGAIN
Export Situation Upsets Trade
Other Grains and Provisions
Are Lower.

Chicago. Feb. 17.-Misgivings over
the shipping crisis, brought about by
the attempted starvation duel between
Germany and Great Britain, had a de-
moralizing effect to-day on the wheat
trade here. An extreme break of 6bc
to sac resulted, and the market closed
much unsettled at 2&c 70 42sc under
last night. Other net losses were:
Corn, i2c 20 lSc; oats, lc 10 lhc.
and provisions, l0c to 27lac.
Excitement in wheat started when
the fact seemed certain that both the
British government and the German
would alike prove unyielding and that
meanwhile a majority of the dealers
at Liverpool were disposed 10 adopt
a waiting policy in regard to buying.
Most Of the selling here was in the
shape Of liquidation on the part OF
holders whose investments were made
during the strong swell which was in
progress Monday and part OF Tuesday.
There was also. however, good deal Of
vigorous bear pressure, due in part TO
talk Of financial arrangements in
France and England by Russia looking
toward an early movement Of grain
out of the latter country, presumably
across northern routes.
Corn prices suffered from a storm
Of selling, induced by the downward
plunge of wheat and by the great load
Of stored corn in sight. Late signs OF
some revival Of European call helped to
rally prices just before the close. Oats
gave way with corn and wheat. Much
Of the selling was Of a stop-loss char
acter
Weakness OF grain and hogs carried
provisions heavily downward. What
support developed was mainly from
shorts. Range OF prices:

A Benevolent Blockade.

The ingenious DR.. Dernburg, dis
cussing the decline in sterling ex-
change yesterday, was quoted as say
ing: Germany is practically cut, OF.
She Is unable 10 purchase anything
and it is impossible for gold to leave
the country, since there is nothing to
be paid for" Wherefore. he deduced'
England (which is not yet cut on Is
in a parous state. She is unfortu-
nate. because her exchange has de-
clined but l.6 per cent here, while
Germany's has fallen off 1l.2 per cent.
II must be presumed from this that
the submarine blockade, which is in,
tended 10 cut of England, is work OF
magnanimity. II it is succe ssfui, none
Of Fngland's gold can leave that fortu-
nate country, and the war, so far as
she is concerned. can go on forever
The Germans in DR.. Dernberg's pict-
urc are like the inhabitants OF the
Channel Islands, who were said to earn
a precarious living by taking IN each
others washing.

Der Tag Without Terrors.

Submarines and the stray floating
mines. with no eyes that will surely
distinguish neutral vessels from those
Of an enemy, apparently have but few
terrors for the marine insurance com,
panies. In the week that they have had
for thinking over the possibilities OF
Germany's untersee blockade OF the
British Isles, they have done nothing
10 raise their rates. Last night IT cost
no more to insure either British or
neutral vessels voyaging 20 England
than it did before February 10 was
named as "Der Tag" for sure.

Stock Traders Cautious.

On the Stock Exchange there was
disposition yesterday to wait Tor
definite news Of Germany's answer to
the American protest, and traders
ignored the rumors and reports during
the session that it was favorable.
The answer, it was felt, would neces-
sarily take some interpreting, both
from q political and narrowly imam
cal point Of view. Involving as much
as it did, there would be no sense IN
making a snap judgment OF it, I'M
less, as nobody believed, it were
complete backdown. Accordingly, &C.
tivitv was mostly in the direction OF
clearing up some of the weak spots,
and the iudustrials, which have lately
enjoyed most of the speculative favor,
bore the brunt of the work.
