The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Quiet conditions prevailed in the
local market for foreign exchanges last
week and changes in rates were narrow
as rule and without significance.
Neutral exchanges continued firm as a
rule and there was only a slight de-
cline in Spanish pesetas. despite the
general knowledge that steps are being
taken to correct the abnormal discount
on the American dollar in Spain.
Efforts to stabilize Italian exchange
are working out satisfactorily and the
rate on lire bills has been maintained
during the past week around $50 lire
to the dollar, which compares with a
recent low record of 9.16 The Federal
Reserve Board in its July bulletin saws :
"The Treasury Department has made an
arrangement with the Italian govern
ment under which certain transactions
in lire must be approved by the New
York representative of the Italian in
stitute and the division of foreign ex-
change of the Federal Reserve Board.
AS beginning, such transactions are
only to affect bills of exchange in
volving imports and exports between
the United States and Italy. These
represent funds which American bank
