The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Movements of rates on foreign coun
tries were extremely narrow during. the
last week. and the volume of business
transacted was small. The market was
generally described as steady.
However, the undcrtone of the ncu
trail exchanges was easy, and bankers
explained that considerable settling Of
deferred accounts was taking place, as
a result of belief that for the rest
of the war there will be no important
movement of the rates against New
York. Exchange dealers anticipate a
gradual movement OF the neutral cX-
changes to the normal PARTIES as
peace approaches.
Rates on London and Paris, though
substantially the same as the previ-
GUS week, were firm. Pesetas also
showed strength. but bankers attribu-
ted it chiefly to short covering, and
prophesied that it would soon begin
to act the same as the general list of
ncutrals.
If you calculate the cost Of tho dol
lar in terms of foreign money at par
valuc-that is. il YOU were buying dol
lars with pounds, marks or francs

Aftermath of the Loan Drive

Philosophizing about the fourth Lib
crty Loan has been delayed because of
the tardiness Of the official figures.
However, man who was in an excel
lent position to observe every aspect
OF the drive from the inside, in at
tempting to place his finger on the rea-
son why the campaign here Jagged so
perilously up to the eleventh hour, said
that the cause was neither the influ-
enza epidemic nor peace talk nor the
unsettled taxation situation. The big
factor in delaying subscriptions, he
said, was the fact that there was no
satisfactory formula by which the CEN
tral committees could inform every in
dlvidual and organization what their
precise share of the national quota
was. AS makeshift double the
third" was adopted. Then, too, the fact
that 10 per cent of the amount of the
subscription had to be paid down when
1T was filed induced many large sub
scrbers to withhold their bond orders
until the last minute.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-27

y The course of stock prices in the
last two days has indicated that the
restriction of speculation for the
rise need not produce important
liquidation, for there has been very
little pressure to sell, and prices
have held remarkably we'll. Yester
day trading was light again, the
turnover being less than half as
large as transactions on the preced-
ing Saturday, yet, in spite of the
usual selling by those traders who
prefer to close out their commit
ments over the week elio, the market
as q whole was decidedly strong. This
strength was especially noticeable
in the railway section, there being
hardly an exception to the advance
of these shares.
Dealings in railroad stocks have,
in fact, been an outstanding feature
Of market in which there were
many features of more than pass
irs interest. The average price of
twenty representative issues reached
. new high level for the year during
the week, and the expansion Of trans
actions was relatively much greater
than the increase in trading in the
industrials. approximately so per
cent of the total turnover last week
was in rails. whereas the average
for the year to date is only 10 per
cent.
The rising tide of investment in
terest in the transportation stocks is
probably to be accounted for by the
unique position which they will oc-
cupy in the period of economic read
justment that is expected to fol-
low the cessation of hostilities.
Whatever i'll fortune may befall the
industrials the railroads position is
secure for period of at least
'twenty-one months after the peace
treaty has been signed. No matter
what may happen to earnings the in
come of the railroad corporations is
assured. And it is considered high
~ probable that by the time the
guarantee period has elapsed any in
dustrial crisis that may meanwhile
have developed will have passed.
Moreover, there is very general
feeling that whatever disposition
may be made of the properties
whether they are returned to their
owners or permanently held by the
government - the security holders
will get fair treatment.
