The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. say, $4.75ss. The intrinsic
parity is s4.86Ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at a 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.

Canadian Car Meeting Quiet
The annual meeting Of the Canadian
Car and Foundry Company was held
at Montreal yesterday Peace reigned
at the session, the differences of the
warning factions having been amicably
settled. President Curry told the
stockholders that war conditions made
it necessary that patriotism should pre-
vail over self-interest, the first duty
of the directors being to the country
and second to the company. On this
account the settlement had been made
he said. and peace declared, and it
required more moral courage to take
this step than it would have to have
fought the issues through to the
finish. According to President Curry,
the output of the Canadian Car and
Foundry Company in the present calen-
dar year will exceed S50,0O0,0OO.
Money Committee Rumors
Reports current in Wall Street yes
terday that the so-called bankers
money committee has taken over con-
troll of the local call money market
and will henceforth supervise all loan
transactions were denied in important
banking quarters. A member of the
committee said ne had no knowledge
of such action being taken. The sit
uation in the call market has been
rather tight for more than a week
now and the money committee has been
operating almost daily in making loans.
Through the work of the committee and
its S200,00OOO0 pool call money has
been kept from going above 63 per
cent. In making loans the committee
in no way exercises a control over the
money market aside from keeping rates
from soaring to abnormal heights.
