BANK EXCHANGE IN ECUADOR
Rate 10 Established by President
Who Alone Is Empowered to
Make Such Ruling.

A recent law promulgated in Ecua-
dor attempts to regulate the bank rate
of exchange as regards drafts to and
from foreign countries. 1t provides
for an advisory board to the president,
presided over by the governor OF
Guayas and composed of delegates
from the chambers Of of
Guayaquil and Quito, the Agricultural
association, each of the banks of issue,
and the national bank inspector. The
recommendations made by this board,
according to Commerce Reports, may
or may not be acted upon by the pres
ident, who alone Is empowered to es-
tablish the legal rate Of exchange;
and any person selling at a higher
rate is liable to prosecution, with a
penalty of ten times the excess
charged.
Export duties, including all sur
charges, may be paid by checks or
sight drafts on foreign markets where
he goods are exported, taking as a
basis the value of the pound sterling
In the New York market. The drafts
mentioned must be sold by the customs
collectors at the prices paid for them.
The purchase of foreign drafts is
at present very materially restricted,
owing to the scarcity of funds In other
countries; and it is generally believed
that the present law will increase the
difficulties.

RAILROAD WORK SOUTH OF TOWN
 IS PROGRESSING
Extension of Railroad on the New D Line Goes Ahead Uninter-
 ruptedly Now.

The end of steel on the new D line has reached up to station 19177 yesterday morning, distar 'e of 10,- 300 feet from the point of beginning, and the work is being continued as rapidly as conditions will permit.
 The Brown hoist is at the front and is of the greatest assistance to the steel gang. She has three cars in tow all the time loaded with rails, ties and logs and her boom easily reaches back for such material as is needed at the front.
 At the rapid rate of progress made with the steel it is expected that the north bank of Julius creek will soon be rached. Piledriver No. 5, also known as the track driver, built last winter at the Commission yards and mounted on a flat car, will be sent out to drive the neces- sary piling for the bridge across this stream.
 There are two shifts of the track laying crews, but at the present time there is only one shift of the surfacing and ballasting crew. As soon as sufficient number of camp cars have been built to accommo- date the men, night crew will be put on and the surfacing and ballast ing will be done night and day. | Thomas H. Bush, who has the contract for the building of the camp cars, is rushing the work, and according to Superintendent of Con- struction w. L. Packer, he will have sufficient cars to house the extra shift of the surfacing gang ready in a day or two.
 On an average about forty cars of gravel are used daily by the ballasting and surfacing crew, but owing to the soft and marshy nature of the ground where the rails are being laid, the flat cars are not be. ing loaded to their full capacity About eight hundred cubic yards of gravel is used daily.
 The night crew of the Bucyrus dragline excavator do all the strip ping work and the day crew exca- vate and load the cars for the use of the ballasting gang. It is ex- pected that with the putting on of a night crew ballasting, the draeline will be kept digging all the time. Sufficient ground will have been stripped by that time to allow of the work to continue without in- terruption.
