sterling Breaks to $3.50.

LoNpoS, March 81 - Gable transfer
rates on sterling exchange fell to $3.50 a
pound In London to-day when announce
ment was made that Government sup
port of exchange had ceased.
Opinion In financial circles o. to the
ACCESSIBILITY OF letting the trans,fer, rate
seek a natural level Is somewhat divided.
Those in favor of removing restrictions
say that the time has come for the Brit
fish authorities to cease such expensive
support In keeping an ARTIFICIAL rate of
tI.76. They also believe that the ces-
sation In the purchase of sterling ex-
change will check the piling UP OF the
British In, debtedness to the United
States. slacken import from the United
States and stimulate exports.
Opposed to that view are some Brit
fish Anglo-American bankers and ex-
change dealers who believe that, the
move IS unfortunate. as II will unsettle
trade and accentuate the already unset
tied labor situation. They point out thai
stability 10 required. and while the rate
lis permitted TO 'huetuate rapidly mer-

Government officials explained to-day
that they regarded the unpegging OF
foreign exchange rates by the allied Gov
ernments as one Of the most important
measures. accompanying readjustment of
international trade conditions to
normal peace time basis. The action
precipitates great uncertainty for the
moment among exporters and importers
and banking interests depending on
foreign trade. In the long run, the
Treasury believes that foreign trade will
be benefited by the restoration OF a free
market.
In that connection the Federal Re
serve Board, which has charge of foreign
exchange regulations. announced to-day
that foreign exchange dealers now might
make transfers of funds to persons not
enemies or allies OF enemies residing in
Croatia. Slavonia, Bosnia, Herzegovina
and Dalmatla.
Another effect of the removal OF ar
tifcial restrictions on foreign exchange
rates Is expected to be the lessening OF
demand for the export OF gold from
the United States. since It will be worth
more in this country than In most others
For that reason. the Federal Reserve
Board expects n great diminution OF sp-
plications for export Of gold in the next
few months.
For that reason ii was predicted to-
day at the Treasury that the President
would remove restrictions on gold move
ment as soon as the preliminary treaty
of peace should be signed.
Governors Of Federal reserve banks at
their conference here to-day expressed
the opinion that the foreign exchange
, situ2iSe wou'aM2rnd stronglE.sAnSi-
minish exports temporarily. although
they did not look for permanent inter
ference with export trade.

ment OF the prices agreed upon for the
remainder Of the year 1918.
Before the announcements were made
Chairman Peek of the Industrial Board

conferred with Attorney-GenerRl Pal
mer. No statement concerning the con-
ference could be obtained. The an
nouncements were held up until the At

1t was pointed out In view OF the hest
fancy Of the steel men to do anything
that would not stand legally and not
subject them to allegations OF law vio-
lation. that assurances were received
mat the agreement was not open TO at
tack and that II II were responsibility
would be up to the Government and the
Government could not act against itself.
The statement by the Industrial Board
follows, in part:

Of prices Just decided upon for the prin-
cipsl articles of iron and steel. the In
dus;rial Board of the Department OF
Commerce. carrying out the purpose for
which II was created, believes that a
level has been reached below which the
public should not expect to buy during
the current year. The purpose OF the
board is TO bring about such a lower
level of prices as will effect stability
and stimulate trade to the end that busi-
ness and industry can proceed and build
up with confidence and provide maxi
mum employment.

In order to prevent any injustice. and
this has been the occasion for consid-
cradle discussion and some difference,
but as final result of the conferences
which have taken place during the last
two days and before the committee ap-
pointed TO represent the entire iron and
steel Industries Joined In the report
which was made to the Industrial Board
while In the opinion of some OF the
manufacturers the board has insisted
upon some changes In the schedule sub
mitted before approving the same, yet
the iron and steel committee are con-
WINGED that the members OF the board
have been governed solely with the In
tention OF protecting and promoting the
best interests of the public. the investors
OF capital and the employees without
discrimination and that the action OF
the board has been wise and Just. The
iron and steel industry was the first
called upon by the board to meet the
business situation and to lend its ener-
giles and assistance in bringing about
readjustment and restoration of the
good business conditions and therefore

Its approval TO these prices and others
which It will not consider Immediately. II
will sndeavor to strike a balance which
while calling sooner or later for some
sacrifice or adjustments on the part of
all yet will not subject any of these
interests to undue hardship"
The following statement was made by
Judge Gary Of the United States Steel
CORPORATE
After careful consideration and full
discussion referring to cost of production
and other facts and circumstances relat-
ing to the iron and steel industries, rep
resentatives of the Industries submitted
to the Industrial Board of the Depart
ment OF Commerce a schedule OF pro-
posed reduced prices of the principal
steel products. which. with notifications
suggested by the board and accepted by
the industry has been approved by the
board.
The objects TO be secured are re-
ylval OF business and establishing a
reasonably low base Of prices which
would be satisfactory to the consuming
public and yet so far az practicable
would yield moderate and reasonable
return to the investors where they are
entitled to it in the application OF sound
business principles and at the same time
would not disturb wage rates or inter
fere with wage agreements. and further
having determined upon prices which il
Is expected will not be reduced during
this year, II Is believed that the volume
of business will be promptly increased
and that furnaces and mills will he OPP
Grating and at a largely increased capac'
ity. thus giving employment to corro'
spondingly increased number of EN-
ployees.

FIND WORTHLESS
CHECKS ON BANK
Columbia Merchant Brings
Suit After Discovering the
Spurious Signatures

Columbia, Pa, Dec. 30.-Among
fraudulent checks discovered in the
Central National Bank here is one
seEt in by the bank at New Freedom
and another by a Gettysburg bank.
Both of these are drawn to the order
of Melvin Staub" and in the corner
of each is the notation, for turkies." 4"
One of the checks is for $46.70 and
the other for $43.33. The checks
were not honored by the Columbia
bank and the New Freedom and Get
tysburg institutions will therefore
have to stand the losses.
Isaac Morrison; a clothier,- has en-
tered suit before Justice of the Peace
McCracken against Paul II. Kauff-
man, charging him with passing a
bogus check. 1t is not believed Kauff-
man is responsible for the checks
cashed at New Freedom and Get
tysburg, but it is said other mer-
chants in Columbia also cashed
checks passed by Kaufman.
Morrison alleged that a man rep
resenting himself as Paul II. Kauff-
man came to his store and after pur-
chasing a bill of goods amounting to
81. he rendered in payment a check
for $32. Morrison cashed the check
and gave the man S25. 1t was later
discovered the check was forgery.

on White Hill Line

Lcmoyne. Pa. Dec. S0.-Announce-
ment was made by officials of the

that fare boxes will be placed for use
on the White Hill line on January l
IN an effort to ascertain what patrons
think of the system used in larger
cities and which recently was placed
in use by two cs~apanies in Wash
ington. d. c.
In connection with the installation
of fare boxes on this line passengers
Will board the car by the rear door
and will alight by the front. This
system has not been used at any time
on West Shore lines. The push but
tons also will be used on the cars for
the first time.
Passengers in getting on the car
are to drop their fare in the box. IL
they do not have exact change the
coin will be given to the conductor.
who will make the change and re-
turn il to the passenger, who will
then drop the fare in the box. Bills
of more than 81 denomination will
not be changed by the conductor.
The reasons advanced for installing
this system temporarily, one of the
officials said. is move for facilitat-
Ing service on West Shore lines. In
addition. it IS pointed out, the system
will provide quicker movement of
cars.
If the system is used on all cars
it VIII mean remodeling most of
them and changing them into the
'pay-as-you-enter" type. The boxes
will remain a reasonable length OF
time it is understood.
