Current

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.751s. The intrinsic
parity is s4S6% per pound. Thus. you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at premium. which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which TO settle
accounts in England.

creased the available supply of call
nancy a. the Stock Exchange yester-
dav. As a result, the rate rose in the
afternoon TO 51z per cent, the highest
level touched by call money since early
IN October. About 100000 was
loaned at that figure. The bulk OF the
loans were placed, however, at . per
cent. the same as the preceding day.
Money brokers expressed the opinion
yesterday that further hardening OF
rates might be expected. In some
quarters il was predicted that the call
rate might 30 TO 6 per cent. The
money committee is understood TO
stand ready TO keep rates from going
above s per cent. There has been an
increased demand for call loans in the
last few days, as result Of the OK
banding activity in the stock market.

The average price used in estimating
returns for the quarter was 1853 cents
a pound. This was less than the price
obtained during the previous quarter
and was partly responsible for the de-
crease in earnings. The curtailment OF

COTTON FEELS EFFECT
Or HEAVY SELLING;

selling was felt by cotton last week
with net loss of SIS TO 100 points as
compared with the previous week The
lowest levels were reached on Satur-
day. when the most active months were
down IS to 100 points.
Many features contributed TO develop
sentiment against the market. ON the
opening session Of the week the Census
bureau hEures on consumption for be-
cember were considered too low to ut
in with bullish accounts OF mill pros
perity, while there was increasing ner-
vousness over activities of German
raiders and submarines. Toward the
close came reports from the interior
that unhcdgcd cotton was not as firmly
held as il was. and also, there were
accounts of preparations for increased
acreage in important sections OF the
belt The week closed with the mar
ket showing a weak undcrtone.
On Tuesday the Census Bureau will
issue the last of its regular semi
monthly reports on ginning. This re-
port will carry the crop down to Jan
