No Decentralization.

The interest Of bankers here in the
sharp break In exchange, which has put
quotations lower than they have been
for forty years, is keen, but they re-
fuse to see decentralization" in an eX-
change market that responds TO the
rein whenever the bankers nominalIy
and actually in control Of it see Occa-
SIGN TO put tension on the bit. Of
course, the probabilities favor a
further decline in rates until some
thing definite is known of how England
will meet the emergency; nevertheless,
il is noteworthy that 1t was possible
yesterday, with not too much eXertiOn,
10 bring about a rally in sterling
prices. And that has in it at least a
suggestion for the future. That there
is at present under consideration in
New York as well as in London a
plan for checking the decline is hardly
to be doubted. But, as a leading
banker here said some weeks ago, it is
Engiands business more than this
countrys, and England must take the
initiative In this connection 1t is in
teresting TO note the remark reported
10 have been made by Sir Frederick
Banbury in the House Of Commons on
Tuesday, that he had heard the Chan
cellor purposed to rehabilitate the
American exchanges by issuing loan
in the United States. There IS new
Chancellor Of the EXchequer in Lon
don, and it may we'll be that the plan
necessarily deferred by his predeces-
sor has now suggested itself as timely.

TOPICS OF THE DAY

MUCH EXAGGERATED
Big French Credit Here Likely

A drop IN sterling exchange Of be-

no ineonsiderable matter, but neither Is
it q catastrophe. Exchange could go a
great deal further down the decline
without seriously impairing the credit
Of Great Britain or giving justification
for q belief that the greatest trading
nation in the world was desperately
near going on a paper basis. Com
pared with the swing of the pendulum
against the United States in the early
months of the war last year the swing
against Great Britain now becomes
small. Demand checks would have TO

about England's using all her gold for

EXCHANGE RATES
DROP STILL LOWER
But Market Generally Is Stead
Ter, on Late Buying
French Loan Nearer.

Although quotations for sterling ana
franc bills yesterday fell below Tues
davis prices, thus establishing new low
records. the market as whole as
nIaved less weakness than on previous
DAVIS. Following offerings around mid
day Of sight drafts on London at 476A,
compared with 4762s the previous day,
there was a frmer tone to the trading
on buying of cable transfers by j. T.
Morgan & Co. and continued imports
of gold from Canada, with the assur-
ance that much more is coming, IN
Guiding S2,5OO,O00 expected to-day:
Demand sterling closed at 416t'
and cables, after declining to 476 1912
closed at AT. The new low RECORDS
for franc checks and cables were, re-
spectively, 5.46% and t.46A. These
declines were also reflected IN Italian
exchange which sold at a new low
price of 5.95. -
While there was no definite news OF
foreign loans, bankers reiterated that
progress was being made and that
some announcement should be forth
coming soon of substantial crealt 10

NO GOVERNMENT
ISSUE IMMINENT
Secretary McAdoo, in Wal
Street, Denies Subject Is
Being Discussed.

William C. McAdoo, Secretary Of the
Treasury, who came TO New YORK on
Tuesday 10 meet his daughter on her
return from Europe, was at the Sub
Treasury yesterday, where he received
cells from leading bankers, including
Frank A. Vanderlip and Albert II. Wig
gin. Secretary McAdoo said before
leaving for Washington in the after
noon that none of the discussions had
touched upon a government bond issue.
He said he was not giving any thought
to that subject now.
"The fiscal year Is not ended yet"
he added. when it is there will be
plenty of time to look over the situa-
ton with regard to the governments
finances and see what the balance IS
one way or the other"
Discussing the regulations Of the
Federal Reserve Board providing Tor
the admission into the reserve system
of state banks and trust companies, he
thought all the important ones IN the
course of time will join. Regarding
the principal objection raised by these
institutions, that they would be COM
pelled to tie up portion Of their re-
serve by subscribing to capital which
Is still non dividend paying, he said:
"That is not so. Although l haven't
had the official figures, l understand
that several Of the reserve banks are
already making profits, and | am sure
that in a very short time all OF them
will be on a dividend paying basis. In
addition. the public as it becomes bet

WESTERN BUYING
STEADIES COTTON
Trading Quiet, with Close
Firm, Net 2 Points
Down to | Higher.

The cotton market remained quiet
yesterday but showed a generally
steady undertone, and closed steady,
net 2 points lower to point higher.
Liverpool futures did not fully meet
Tuesdays local gains and the market
here opened at a decline of l to
points under some scattered realizing.
Offerings were very small, however,
and prices soon steadied on the unset
tied appearance Of the weather map,
reiterated reports Of boil weevil dam
age in Alabama, and expectations that
the weekly report of the Weather Bu-
reau would show rather spotted con-
ditions. A private crop report indl-
eating that there had been slight
deterioration in crop promise since the
latter part of May, may have contrib
uted to the rally which carried active
months q point or two over Tuesdays
closing figures. The weekly report of
the Weather Bureau, however, read
more fayorably than had been antici-
pated and prices eased of during the
early afternoon. After showing a net
loss Of 4 or 3 points, offerings again
tapered of and the market steadled on
a little Western buying or renewed
covering. Closing prices were within
2 or 8 points of the best level for
the day.
The weekly weather forecast, which
carried prospective positions up to
June %, or within three days OF the
government canvass, was considered IA
vorable, and in connection with the
favorable review of conditions during
the past week, served TO encourage
predictions of a bearsh July condition
figure Ideas as to the probable
change in acreage, however, remain
uncertain, and selling on the favorable
view of immediate crop progress IS
restricted by the continued steadiness
OF the stock market, and a feeling that
favorable crop prospects at the end
Of June may possibly be followed by
unfavorable conditions during July
and August, which are critical months
with the crops development. Some at
tentlon was attracted by the publica-
ton OF a statement taken from a book
recently issued by professor Of eco
Monies in n we'll known English col
lege, purporting TO show that 1t cost
about u cents per pound to produce
200 pounds Of cotton TO the acre on
farm Of 100 acres in Texas during the
YEAR 1913. including a ground rental
Of about 81 per acre. Such high cost
is not generally admitted, but the idea
that prices are near if not actually
below the cost Of production is con-
sidercd one Of the sustaining factors
in the current market. Exports for
the day were 1885 bales, making g.
O1S.15O so far this season. Southern
spot markets as officially reported,
were all unchanged, except for an ad-
vance of 70 points In the market at
Augusta. Wilmington reported spots
nominal, but said that exporters were
bidding $50 for middling, comparing
with quotations Of &C at both Savannah
and Norfolk.

WHEAT PRICES UP
ON FROST IN BELT
Harvest Delays Reports Stir
Traders-COrn, Oats and
Provisions Higher.

Chicago, June 16.-Worse delays for
harvest in the Southwest with recur-
renee of frost in the spring crop re-
gion gave sharp upturn to-day to
the price of wheat The market closed
strong at rs to 2G2B net advance.
Other leading staples, too, all scored
net gains-corn Ia TO 2G2b, oats p
to /. and provisions 10G12h to 271a.
One Of the best known authorities in
the trade went on record with the
opinion that the winter wheat harvest,
taken as a whole, would be a week later
than usual, and that meanwhile the
damage done by the Hessan fly. would
become increasingly apparent. uneX-
pected wet weather which would add to
the difficulties of gathering the yield
in Kansas and adjoining states tended
to make sentiment still more bullish.
Hardness of growth in North Dakota
and Canada, owing to new frost dam
age last night, counted further against
the bears, and so also did reports OF
drouth in Western Europe.
One lively reaction took place in the
wheat market owing to late advices
that charters had been made TO carry
100000 bushels of wheat from North
ern Russia to France. The report,
however, was not generally accepted
as true, and the effect failed to last.
On the other hand, a good deal of at
tention was given to samples of winter
wheat from around Carrollton, Mo-,
badly infected with black rust.
Shorts were free buyers Of corn.
The chief reason was wet weather in
the greater part Of the belt, with pre-
dictions of more. Country offerings
were small, owing largely to the poor
start of the new crop.
Oats hardened, mainly in response
to good demand from the seaboard.
Rank growth and tendency to lodge
was reported from various sections.
Provisions rose with hogs and grain.
There was said to be an improved in
quiry for cured meats.
