Discount Rates.-The following table
gives the current rates Of the twelve
Federal Reserve banks on commercial
paper for all periods up to ninety days:
New-York tribune., 1918-11-21

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms Of the Amer
lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at $4.7595. The intrinsic
parity is s4.S6M per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium.
hich is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
10 settle accounts In this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-
counts in England.

Of it's labor.
The new tables compiled by the
Federal Reserve Board show that
farm products, including cotton,
have increased by $50 er.cent over
July, 1914. But mineral products,
including coal, iron, copper and all
the rest, increased only 80 per cent
half as much. And forest prod
ucts, lumber and the rest, increased
only 43 per cent. With the price Of
farm products, save that Of cotton,
very largely under governmental de-
cree for at least year to come,
there seems now little prospect for a
drastic fall in food This fact will
largely determine wages. And the
price Of all products of human labor
as well.
Before leaving, Mr.. Hoover sent a
message to the banks to say that
there is no wheat available in the
Black Sea region; that there has
been crop failure in Bulgaria, Ru-
mania and the Ukraine, and that
with the opening Of the Dardanelles
it will be necessary to furnish wheat
from the United States in order to
protect these wheat-producing coun-
tries from starvation.
