Sub-Treasurv. The
The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Sterling exchange rates displayed
pronounced strength last week, espe-
cially in the case of long commercial
bills, of which there was a short sup
ply. Net gains on the week however,
were only fractional, indicating that
the situation in regard to sterling has
not been removed from the arbitrary
position which it has occupied for
year or more. Increased mail facilities
during the last few weeks have been
factor in helping the market for Lon
don sight drafts, although the bulk Of
the business being done is in cable
transfers.
French exchange was firm during the
week, but rates on Italy declined again,
lire falling to close to the low levels
established several weeks ago, before
the Italian government announced its
plan of stabllZing rates. Quotations
IN the local market reflect, of course,
the operations in Italian exchange in
London, where the largest dealings
take place.
Exchange on Spain made another
sensational advance, pesetas going
above n cents for new high record
for the war period. Other neutral cx-
changes were quiet, as rule

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms Of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4,753s. The intrinsic
parity is $4.s6ss 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
