Want Coffee Exchange
To Be Reopened

Alleging that conditions in the cof-
Zee trade appear to "be rapidly ap-
preaching crisis" the board Of man
ayers OF the New York Coffee ard
Sugar Exchange yesterday sent tele-
gram to Herbert c. Hoover, of the
food administration, urging that the
exchange be reopened for trading in
coffee.
The telegram stated that "the supply
IN this country is nearing exhaustion.
prices in producing countries are soar
ing and merchants here are unwilling
to import because there is no free
market in which tn Y can hedge their
purchases. The managers asked that
all restrictions on contracts be re.
moved 80 as to enable trade to resume
Its normal channels" Coffee trading
was suspended on October 18.

peace basis. In this connection 1t Will
be observed that the War Industries
Board and other governmental depart
mcnts are already considering methods
Tor assisting in the readlustment OF
business without serious disturbances
or injury to. general conditions.
'Besides, there has been in all lines
of trade with which the government
has not been specially interested an
accumulation of orders, which to a
large degree. at least, will be placed so
soon as the supply may justify. And
IN order to refill empty warehouses
throughout the country large quantl-
ties OF finished materials will be re-
quired.
Moreover, in non-producing coun-
tries it has been impossible to supply
their necessities on account of the war
requirements, and these will commence
to buy as soon as it is practicable. so
that a large increase in expectations
may be expected.
Extensions and new construction.
which have been necessarily post
poned for lack of material, will be
taken up.
"And with all this is connected the
thought that as q net result of the
war the volume OF cash and cash re-
sources has been increased in q
marked degree ard will be expended
for purposes Of expansion and devel-
opment in this rich and growing coun-
try. The circulation of money is con-
siderably larger than it was at the
beginning of the war.
Optimism Will Win
"As a general proposition, it is still
true that the optimist who keeps with
in the limits of cash or stable cash re-
sources will succeed. For the long fu-
ture we have reason to believe that
the country will be more progressive
and more prosperous than ever before.
ut remains for all who have been
permitted to survive the horrors of
war to enter upon the new era with g
united and fraternal spirit and q
purpose to profit by the experiences
of the past and to aid in the establish
ment of permanent basis of peace
and prosperity"

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The movement of rates yesterday in
the foreign exchange market clearly
bore out the prediction of bankers that
quotations on Allied countries would
rise toward par and those on neutral
countries would decline to the normal
when peace came. Sterling, francs and
lire bills were strong and all the neu-
trail exchanges were weak. The rates
on France yesterday were the most fa-
vorable to that country that have been
quoted in this market since 1915. The
machinery Ct foreign exchange is being
cloggcd by the delay in the transmits
sion of cables resulting from the heavy
use Of the cables by the government.

New-York tribune., 1918-11-13

AS has been forecast in these
columns, Secretary McAdoo now
makes a positive statement that the
capital needs of the government will
continue on a heavy scale for an in
definite time to come. The Secre-
tary speaks of "more Liberty
loans," with the emphasis ON the
plural At the same time Mr..
Hoover makes the prediction that
; the needs of Europe will require
even greater exports of food the
coming year than the present year.
This pretty definitely determines
first, no easing of the money market
for at least some time to come, and,
secondly, which is more important,
no considerable cheapening Of food
prices for much longer time. If
the needs of Europe should main
tain food prices high for a year or
more, that would mean a high de-
gree of prosperity in what is still
our most important single industry
and the greatest source Of the ma
tion's buying power.
The war has done one unheard
Of thing. 1t has raised the average
of prices all over the world by at
least 100 per cent. Even in far
Japan prices have arisen by that
amount, in Russia from 200 to 300
per cent, in France over 200 per
cent, in England about 140 per cent.
Roughly, then, this means that the
existing amount Of gold must cardy
the burden Of at least twice the nor
NAL amount of trade, credits and
exchanges. In many countries there
will unquestionably be a strong de-
mand for gold. This will be evil
denced in the exchange rates. 1t
is clear that those countries in
which imitation has been least will
be in the best position in the worlds
markets. There is no great power
better off in this respect than the
United States. This fact cannot
but have large effect upon the
course Of prices in this country.
In South American countries,
where heavy issues of paper money
brought about prolonged fall in
The value of the currency, the paper
dollars we're eventually established
at an arbitrary price, 40 cents in
cne country, 20 cents in another
and so on. 1t will be interesting to
watch the fate of the vast paper
currencies of Germany, Russia,
France and other countries.

N. Y. Central Loan Extended

The loan of s6ooo,Ooo at per cent
interest which was made to the New
York Central Railroad last May by the
Central Union Trust Company, it was
announced yesterday, has been ex-
same rate of interest. At the time the
loan was arranged the railroad admin
istration stated that the road had not
been able to arrange satisfactory terms
with other bankers.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-13

Not the least Of the paradoxes
that might ensue from prolonged
social disturbance in Europe, such
as a Socialistic government in Ger
many might introduce, would be the
resumption of heavy foreign invest
ments in the United States. Some
Of the estimated three billions of
our securities held abroad, which
were brought back here, might again
go abroad. European investment
has been notably augmented in the
last few months. Investors on the
other side might regard our securi-
ties as now very cheap.
The financial world cannot real
ize what the creation of a hundred
and fifty billions of new govern
mental securities must mean. That
sum must exceed the total volume
or market value of all the stocks,
bonds and debentures of all the
countries of Europe in 1914. Even
in the United States the existing
volume of 1914 has probably been
augmented by more than one-haH.
These securities have been dis
tributed no tmerely in this coun~
try, but in every country as securi-
ties were never distributed before.
In the United States probably more
than one-third of all the families in
the country are now holders of Lib
erty bonds. The gross total Of sub
scriptions would suggest even
higher proportion. And the same
is true Of every country in Europe
which was at war. The effect of
this upon the threat of reputation
must be considerable.

Remington Typewriter Plans

AT the request of the holders Of 8
large percentage Of the outstanding
first and second preferred stock of the
Remington Typewriter Company, a
committee has drawn up a plan provid-
ing for reduction of $4,470,OOO in the
present stock and bond liabilities on
the first and second preferred stocks
and for the liquidation of dividends ac-
cumulated to October /, last. Divi-
dends on the first preferred on that
date amounted to S1,120,000, which the
committee proposes to liquidate, one
half in cash and one-half in Az per
cent Liberty bonds. Accumulated divi-
dends on the second preferred total
$500, 900, which it is planned will be
iiquidated by delivering to stockhold-
ers voting trust certificates for first
preferred stock to the amount Of
$1,000, 900. while the balance will be
paid 100000 in cash and $300,OOO in
4 a per cent Liberty bonds. The COM
mittee which recommends the adoption
of the plan consists Of A. Barton Hep
burn, c. A. Austin and l. C. Seamans.
