EXCHANGE HIGH IN CANADA.
". q. Penny of Irving National
Rank Tells of Conditions,

II. @. Penny, vice-president OF the Irving
National Bank and head OF it's foreign ex-
change department, who has just returned
from Canada, said that he found con-
siderable evidences of Improvement In the
exchange situation In Canada
New York exchange Is selling in
Canada at an unusual premium" he said.
AT present this premium is about one
half of per cent. In fact. some Cana
dian banks at the present time are charg-
Ing the latter figure for collecting and
RENTING Canadian funds The bankers
up there are frank to say that they ex-
poet this condition to last for some months
to come unless a balance can be created
in Canada's favor through the selling of
securities in the United States or through
the export OF Canadian grain to this
country.
''Of course a favorable balance could
also be created by the shipment OF gold
from Ottawa to New York, but Canada
for the present does not appear to oon-
slider II advisable to AVIAN herself Of this
means This Is a problem for which
Canada will no doubt work out a solution.
although every one concerned shares the
burden TO some extent"
He pointed out that under normal con-
ditions exchange operates against Canada,
the present situation having been created
by the heavy purchases made in the
United States by Canada since the out
break OF the war.

ROBBINS'S IMMUNITY
TRIAL SET FOR FEB. %

determine whether Edward d. Robbins

Haven IN entitled to immunity from
prosecution on an Indictment charging
him and twenty other defendants In the
New Haven case with violating the Sher-
man law The proceedings are expected
TO show the strength or weakness of the
Governments case against all the defend
ants.
The chief witness to be called by Spe-
cial Attorney-General swacker is Charles
s. Mellen. Other witnesses subpenaed
by the Government are S. c. Morehouse,
Harry " Whipple. Samuel Hemingway
and Edward +. Field
The question OF Robbins's immunity
was to have come Up before Judge Will
lam III. Pope In the United states Dis
trict Court to-day. but his counsel. Add
son s Pratt, was not ready to go on
with the case. Although other immunity
pleas interposed by New Haven defend
ants have been argued without a jury
Mr.. Pratt demanded jury trial for his
client because OF the different questions
raised In his plea
For all acts charged in the Indictment
prior TO 1913 Robbins demands eNemp-
ton from prosecution because OF his ties -
