Paul newspaper contining pictures
and a glowing account of Pendleton's
participation in the parade there last
Saturday." Pendleton Club Is Big

of the parade: ITO an outsider it
looked as though the Pendleton cow

their superb mounts, their skill with
lariats and unfailing good humor and
catching smiles captivated the crowd

hundreds of millions of dollars in England,
and Englishmen living in this country are
sending back large sums to their rela-
tives, then there will be huge demand
for drafts to remit funds, and the rate
will go up. This did happen once, and
although the gold in the English pound
is worth only $4.S66, yet Americans were
paying Sc and even 81 for an English
pound sterling bill.
AT the present time the situation is ex-
actly reversed with nearly every Euro-
pean country. That is because they are
doing all the buying, and therefore scram-
bling for drafts to remit to us.
There are two ways of taking advantage
of this situation. One is to establish a
credit in foreign country, and wait for
the end of the war to bring you profit
in converting the credit back into Ameri-
can money. This can be done by paying
over to banker sum of American
money for him to buy exchange with and
set up an account in a bank in the foreign
country The speculator would receive
no interest probably during the war, but
his risk would be limited to further fall
in exchange rates. The other and more
common method is to buy internal bonds
of foreign governments. Here the risks
are double. You may lose, both from a
further decline in exchange, and in the
price of the bond itself. But the chances
of profit also are double.
Suppose you buy Russian internal
bond at 95 per cent, the price at which
it may be selling in Russia. If the bond
rises to 100 per cent. QRussian money!
after the war you will have more Russian
money to exchange into American money
than you have now. Then, of course, if
ruble exchange returns to normal, there
will be profit on that end of it too, be
cause you will then exchange your Rus
sian money for twice as much American
money as you can now. In addition
there is the interest being paid to your
account during the war; and if this
is left abroad until exchange becomes
normal there will be profit on the
interest also
How long it will take to reestablist
normal exchange rates after the war
no one can tell. That some rise in the
value of foreign money in relation tt
ours should take place as soon as peace
is assured is reasonably certain. If tn,
foreign countries repudiate their debts
the risk in buying their money is great
but if they continue to meet their debt
there is sure to be gradual return t.
normal exchange rates.

What Are the Profits in. Foreign Exchange?
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD

TF the operation did not seem so tech
nical and complicated, far more
people would seize the present OPP
portunity to investor speculate if you
prefer the word-in foreign exchange
Great possibilities are there; upon that
point all agree. Just how great are the
risks is not so clear.
Foreign exchange came into being be-
cause of the expense, duplication of effort,
and danger involved in shipping money
to all parts of the world. A wooden "dra-
per" in London sells thousand yards of
his product to New York merchant,
and draws written order, draft, or bill
all three words mean much the same
upon the New Yorker To ship the bill,
collect the money, and send it to Eng
land would involve time, trouble, and
risk But if another Londoner has
bought steel bars in New York, and the
two drafts can be handled by the same
banker it is possible to make an offset
in one city or the other, and avoid ship
ping more than a minimum amount of
money.
Buying and selling these bills and off
setting international debts is the business
of foreign exchange. OF course the bills
must be expressed in terms of money
just as the price of share of stock or a
safety razor or pound of bacon is ex-
pressed in money terms. But there are
two kinds of money, because there are
two countries, each with different sys-
tenn. So the rate of exchange is the
price of one kind of money in terms of
the other. STERLING 4.75$s" means
that $4.75$s will buy one English pound
sterling. "Francs 5.S512" means that
5.S512 French francs will buy one Ameri-
can dollar MARKS 65.75' means that
four marks will buy 65.75 cents American
money. "Rubles 2S.35" means that one
Russian ruble will buy 2S35 cents Ameri-
can money. Lire 7.54" means it takes
that many Italian lire to buy one Ameri-
can dollar; and so on through the list of
| foreign moneys
The "rate of exchange" like the price
of anything else, depends upon supply
and demand. If payments of every de-
scription between England and America
were exactly equal (and it there were no
speculation or other disturbing factors)
sterling exchange would always be
$4.S66, which is the amount of gold in an
English sovereign or pound sterling If
we are buying enormous amounts of
goods from England and they very little
from us; if we owe them interest on
