The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. say, s4.75sa. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S65s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-
counts in England.

the recent strength in National Conduit
& Cable stock was that the company
may soon be relieved of its cartridge
contract with the government, which
has been Improbable from the start.
The Remington Arms Company was
named as the concern which may take
over this business. A distinctly favor
able development for the Cable Com
pany is the probability that it will be
reimbursed to the extent Of more than
$500 900 for outlays on the machinery
made necessary by the acceptance Of
the cartridge order. With this con-
tract turned over to another concern
National Conduit will be in a position
to devote it's entire capacity to its
normal business of making insulated
copper and brass wire, transmission
and telegraph cables. brass tubing,
rods and sheets. The stock moved up
into new high ground for 1918 yester-
day, selling at 213s and closing at 21,

ditions, have been curtaied. Each Of
these plants has a capacity for turn
