Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Under the stimulus Of the purported
Austrian acceptance Of President Will
sons amended peace terms rates on
neutral countries in the New York for
further toward the normal. Moreover,
francs, which tirmed UP Monday
showed additional strength yesterday.
All the neutral exchanges, affected by
the military and political war develop
ments, moved in favor OF this country.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, follow:
(Quoted dollars to the pound.l
New-York tribune., 1918-10-30

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Amer-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. say. s4.754o. 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 10 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
accounts in Encland.

Forced liquidation on a rather
larger scale has caused a decline
in stock prices in the last two days,
but the market has stood the test
very we'll. Banks have been calling
in Street loans in considerable
amounts, perhaps much larger than
is generally realized, and this has
compelled manv Of those with thin
ly margined holdings to unload.
Also, those houses which have taken
more than their share Of the limited
supply of credit for speculation
have been called upon by Stock
Exchange officials to pay off q part
Of their loans, and this has put ad-
ditional pressure on the market
There is little doubt that consid-
cradle reduction in the Street loan
position of local banks has taken
place. Ordinarily such selling as has
taken place would not reduce loans
except to the extent that security
prices were reduced, inasmuch as
the cancellation of the sellers loan
would be offset by loan negotiated
by the purchaser. But this time
stocks are probably passing into
the hands of those who can afford to
put up much larger margins, so that
the amount of call money required
tc finance given amount of stock
Is substantially reduced

Disapproves 3. & Nj. Assessment

Woodward Hudson, president Of the
Boston Maine Railroad, in state
ment to stockholders emphasized that
the company has not sanctioned the
action taken By Edward r. Brown,
president Of the minority stockhold
ers' protective association, in asking
shareholders for 81 share on their
holdings in order to facilitate the
financing by the government Of a re-
organization plan. "No officers of this
road" says Mr.. Hudson. 'are in an7
way responsible for this action. On
the contrary. they do not consider that
the proposed reorganization. which has
been handled not by the minority
stockholders protective association
but by the reorganization committee
appointed by the Boston Maine
and its largest leased lines, will be
in any way facilitated by the contri-
button asked for; nor do they regard
h hoders ss' as at ali D se for s0fR he
protection of their interests"

AS rule an important dividend
change finds expression in a move
ment of the stock affected more
often than not in advance of the
announcement. Steel common has
been weak in the last few days, but
rot conspicuously so, inasmuch as
the whole market has displayed a
declining tendency. 1t has not dis
counted the change this time.
Whether, therefore, the reduction in
the extra dividend on this stock
from 3 per cent, the rate that has
been maintained since juno, 1917,
to 2 per cent, as announced after
the close, will have an important
and immediate effect on the stock
remains to be seem There is no tell
ing how the speculative mind will
he affected by the news. Its re-
actions are often unexpected.
Traders may take a pcssimistic
view, arguing that the corporation
has passed the peak in it's wartime
prosperity; and in that they may
be right. But the other side Of it
is that Steel common, like many
ether stocks, has never sold on the
basis of war earnings and extra
dividends. There has, Of course,
been considerable appreciation in
the price of the stock, but relative
ly far less than the increases in
earnings and disbursements. Wall
Street has always regarded huge
war earnings as temporary. There
fore, the cut in extra dividends and
the seemingly poor showing for the
quarter may be accepted with
cquanimity.

When you see Doan's Kidney Pills
recommended in this paper you must
always find the recommended a'Shep-
herdstown resident. It's the same
everywhere--in $500 towns in the U. S.
Fifty thousand people publicly thank
Doan's. What other kidney remedy can
give this proof of merit, honesty and
truth? Home testimony must be true
or it could not be published here. Read
this Shepherdstown recommendation.
Then insist on having Doan's. You
will know what you are getting:
Mrs. Jacob Rush, Church street and
Prospect Avenue, says: 81 have been
troubled chiefly with a dull, heavy ache
through the small of my back. The
action of my kidneys has been irregular
and has caused me great deal OF an
noyance. Every time have been
troubled in this way since then, have
gotten a box or so of Doan's Kidney
Pills at Hills Pharmacy, and they have
never failed to quickly cure the attack"
Mrs. Rush is only one of many Shep-
herdstown people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. lfyour
back aches, if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for kidney remedy,
ask distinctly for DOAN'S KIDNEY

CERTAIN newspapers think that the
President ought to go over the country
and see for himself the conditions in
the ship building plants, the munitions
factories, the aeroplane establishments
and other plants that are being criti-
cised because they are not producing
as fast as they should. This would
undoubtedly be a good thing, but un-
fortunately the President has more than
any one man can manage right there in
