Application of Order
On Foreign Exchange
Wider Than Thought
Merchants, Stock Brokers
and Others With Connec-
tions Abroad Affected

Merchants, industrial concerns, stock
exchange brokers and others who carry
balances in foreign countries with for
cign correspondents or agents; those
who buy or sell securities for foreign
account, or who carry balances in this
country for foreign correspondents, it
now appears are obliged to take out
registration certificates under the ex-
ecutive order Of the President, signed
January 26. Applications must be
made with the Federal Reserve Bank
of their district not later than to-day,
according to statement made yester-
day by Frederick I. Kent, director of
foreign exchange.
1t was not generally realized when
the executive order was issued last
week that it concerned others than
bankers or brokers and those buying
and selling foreign exchange.

Reply to Stoll Charges
Directors of Distillers' Securi-
ties Co. Send Circular to
Stockholders

Directors of the Distillers' Securities
Corporation have sent out circular to
stockholders replying to charges of
Encouragement made against them by
Charles H. Stoll. an attorney.
The purchase of preferred stock of
the Distilling Company of America
from Levy Mayer, of Chicago, at $40 a
share appears to furnish the basis for
the charges made by Mr.. Stoll, and the
statement issued by the directors dis
cusses that transaction at some
length, along with number of matters
which Mr.. Stoll has brought to the at
curities stock from time to time in a
series of letters numbered from to 6.

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Only a nominal market in foreign ex-
change existed yesterday owing to the
general restriction of operations in the
financial district. Rate changes were
narrow and not important. Italian ex-
change displayed somewhat easier
tone. Dutch grilders were slightly
lower at 43A cents for checks. Sterl-
ing and francs were firm.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and Aus
trian exchange, SO that daily quotations
for either marks or kroncn are no
longer available.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-05

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s475lss. The intrinsic
parity is s4S6Ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at a premium. which
is owing to the fact that in ENGLAND
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is great
er than the demand in this country for
hounds with which to settle accounts in
England.

Cereals

Corn Indications that the traffic
situation was likely to show material
Improvement in the near future brought
out considerable selling of corn yester-
day, under which fractional gains made
during the forenoon were lost Fina!
quotations were unchanged from Sat-
urday. That the government is de-
termlned to hasten the movement of
grain at Western points was shown
IN new order, reported from Chicago
late in the day, to go into effect on
Wednesday, which will positively pro-
hlbit the reloading of any cars for the
East when Western cars have been un-
loaded. This was considered the most
drastic order yet promulgated to move
Western grain and is understood to
mean that cars arriving from the in
terror will have to be returned for
more grain and not loaded with any
commodity for the East
A good deal of soft corn is await
ing shipment to Chicago and other
points where it can be dried, and this
order gave great encouragement to
those who are anxious to see as much
as possible of the big corn crop saved
Part of the steadiness which chardc-
terized the early market was due to a
severe cold wave over the West, COM
ing from the Northwest. although it
was not expected to be of long dura
ton.

Wheat.-The cold wave caused some
apprehension for the new crop, though
its promise of short duration gave rise
to the hope that the plant would not
saffer, as a good deal of it is we'll pro-
tected by snow. The movement con-
tinues light and the visible supply
showed decrease of 1,258,0OO bushels
for the week.
Oats.-An active buying movement
during the forenoon advanced prices
=. to &c per bushel Heavy selling
developed on the advance, however,
when the trade learned that some 5000
cars had been delivered to Western
lires. Practically all of the carly gain
disappeared and the market closed un-
changed from Saturday. Large sales of
oats have been made to go South for
export, and these contracts are yet to
be filed, but it was said that the gov
Crnment had stopped buying until some
CT the oats already purchased could be
moved. One railroad has distributed

CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE
A BUSY TIME TONIGHT
Election of Water Company Di-
rector. Increase in Tax Rate
and Other Matters to be
Considered.

Considerable interest is being
manifested in the monthly session of
the City Council which will be held
tonight. The interest centers particu-
larly about the drafting of the bill
to be introduced in the Legislature
amending the City Charter so as to
increase the maximum tax rate from
$100 to SIPS. This step was made
necessary by the contemplated loss of
revenue due TO the closing of the
saloons of the town under the ruling
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Another interesting matter to be
considered is the election of a mem
ber of the Board of Directors of the
Annapolis Water Company The term
of Mr. George T. Melvin will expire
and it is understood that the Demo-
cratic members at a recently held
caucus agreed to the reelection of
Mr.. Melvin.
Still another important matter will
be the steps to be taken to close up
all of the pool rooms in the town at
1870 p. M. instead of midnight.

MORE AND BETTER
FARMING PLANNED.
Anne Arundel Truckers Being
Assisted by County Agent
Whiteford in Work.

With County Farm Agent Henry c.
Whiteford aiding the movement in
every way possible. plans for farming
on more extensive areas than in many
recent years are being completed by
Anne Arundel farmers and the year
will probably see the biggest crops
in the history of the county.
Through Mr. Whiteford's efforts
seeds of which there is a great
scarcity have been secured for local
farmers and plans for getting trac-
tors to work the land have been COM
pleted
Now that the cold spell has broken
work of preparing for early plant
ing has begun in earnest and every
where on the farms there are scenes
of intense activity. Each day scores
of wagons and trucks loaded with
seeds, implements and fertilizers and
all sorts of farm supplies pass over
the new Hanover Street Bridge into
the section.
There will be but few pieces Of
land in the county not cultivated this
year.

Asks Thome to Write Cheerfully
To The Sammies.

There has just been published

is for their friends in America to
keep them so. Obey orders and work
and write"
