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, s4.75h. The intrinsic
parity is s4s6Ss 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 great
err than the demand in this country
for pounds with which to settle &C

Treasury Takes
Action to Check
Outflow of Gold
Can Be Exported Only I'm
der License-May Depre-
ciate Dollar Exchange

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The prob
lem OF conserving the huge store of
gold accumulated by the United States
since 1914, which has been vexing Fed
eral Reserve Board and Treasury OH
Gals somewhat OF late, is believed to
have been met in part by the addition
to-day of gold, bullion, currency and
evidences of indebtedness to the list
of commodities requiring licenses for
export to European countries.
Regulations for the licensing will be
promulgated by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and enforcement probably
will be placed in the hands Of Treasury
employees.
The effect Of restriction on gold ex-
ports, it is believed, will be to depress
still further, temporarily, at least, the
value of the dollar in international ex-
change, especially in the neutral coun-
tries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Holland. Spain and Switzerland, where
foreign exchange is against American
money.
Officials Mystified
Reasons for the comparatively low
value of the dollar in these money mar
, kets have not been explained entirely
to the satisfaction of officials here by
the ordinary balance of trade. In the
case of Spain, the balance Of trade is
in favor of the United States. Yet the
exchange rate is heavily in favor OF
the Spanish peseta.
Exports of gold to Spain have been
made for some time past apparently in
the face of an adverse trade balance.
The power is now placed in the hands
of officials to check these expectations
While the total gold exported has not
been great, it has been sufficiently large
to cause ar inquiry by officials into the
situation and close scrutiny of ali
transactions involving the shipment OF
gold to that country.
Allies Cooperating
British and other allied officials have
been working with Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve Board heads for some time
past to devise a method of conserving
the American gold supply. Japan
which is withdrawing gold from this
country in large shipments from San
Francisco, had not been a party to
these conferences in the past, but with
the arrival here of the Japanese mis-
sion it is understood steps were taken
to include its representatives in the in
formal discussions
British officials are understood to be
especially DESTROYS that none Of the gold
exported from this country to Japan
finds its way to India, where its use is
diverted by the natives from a medium
of currency to a means of personal
adornment.

Money and Credit

Payments through the Federal Re-
governments latest issue of certificates
Of Indebtedness did not have any APP
preciable effect on the mohey market
yesterday because of the large amount
Of idle funds which the banks now have
on hand in anticipation of the new war
financing. The amount of the certfi-
Gates allotted in this reserve district is
understood to have been in the neigh
borhood of s12O,OO0,0OO. A part of this
money will be redistributed among the
banks on government deposits. Further
indication Of money abundance was
furnished by the fact that, with the
formal opening Of subscriptions to a
second offering of s15,000,00O British
Treasury pills by J. p. Morgan e. Co.
it became known that banks had APP
piled in advance for more than that
amount. This offering, like the first,
was put out at 81 per cent, but a
lowering of the rate on the next allot-
ment, if the money market continues
in its present easy state, is regarded
as probable.
No change was noted in the call
money market, offerings Of funds at 3
per cent, the ruling rate, being more
than equal to the demand from Stock
Exchange houses for such accommoda-
ton. The closing rate was 214 per cent.
The offerings of time money for any
thing beyond sixty days we're restricted
owing to the desire of the banks to
keep their funds as liquid as possible
and until they know for certainty
what demands will be made upon them
/ in connection with the next offering
of Liberty Bonds. At the same time,
borrowers did not exhibit much eager
ness TO obtain loans. Rates recently
! quoted were firmly maintained.
Ruling rates for money yesterday,
compared with year ago, were as fol-
lows:
