Paris Bourse.-PARIS, Feb. 10
Trading on the Bourse to-day was very
calm. Prices were unchanged.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-17

The industry adjusts itself to a basis
of 23a cents, with another group Of
producers simply getting new dollar
for an old one. But that condition does
not last. The prices for labor and ma
terial, which are not fixed, go up, the
cost Of producing copper goes up, and
each rise blows out some more pro-
ducers just as surely as if the price
for copper were falling.

1He aUUVe FHteS expreSS the cost OF
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.75!hs. The intrinsic
parity is s4.S6m per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at premium. which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is greater
than the demand in this country for
pounds with which to settle accounts in
England
