Importers Buy Exchange
Against Prospective Pur-
cllases of Teuton Goods

Unrestricted trading in German
marks took place yesterday in the New
York foreign exchange market for the
first time since the United States en-
tered the European war. The formal
announcement by the War Trade Board
of the State Department that trading
with Germany would henceforth be
permitted removed the legal barriers
to dealing in Teuton exchange.
The mark in terms of American
money was ten cents less yesterday
than when the United States declared
state Of war existed. In a broad
market, in which nearly six times the
volume of business that was done on
normal ante-bellum day was trans
acted, the mark closed at 81a and 80.
yesterday, compared with the quota
tion Of 1871 cents two years and four
months ago.
Orders for marks, dealers in ex-
change declared, came largely from inn
porting houses in this country, who
anticipate buying merchandise in Ger
many. 1t was explained that the
marks purchased were not for i'm
mediate use, but were secured by mer-
chants who expect to need them in the
next year or two and desire to profit
from the present unprecedentedly low
quotation.
A fairly large inquiry for marks also
who wanted Immediately to transmit
funds to relatives in Germany. The
market in German exchange was ir-
regular and quotations varied some
what in different banking institutions.
The range for the day, however, WAS
approximately from 8 to 83s cents. |
Some dealers quoted the identical rate
for Berlin marks and for those des-
tined to go to occupied parts of Ger
many. Trading in marks to occupied
parts began week ago, when banker1

The normal value of the
mark is 1888 cents.
Sterling and French exchange. which
have been fast declining in this mar
ket, reached new low levels for all
time yesterday. Lack of desire on the
part of American interests at this time
to create additional balances abroad |
IS making the supply Of sterling bills |
run far. ahead of the demand. In
terms of commerce, the exchange sit
-" 'ioi,' pilhe1o say, is caused Dy the |
fact that Great Britain and the Euro
pean nations are making large pur-
chases here, whereas the United States
IS buying virtually nothing from
Europe. Moreover, the dominant posi-
ton of this country in the gold market
makes the dollar sell at a premium,
Sterling is at a discount of about
per cent in this market, and francs at
q discount of nearly 35 per cent. De-
mand sterling was quoted yesterday at
$4,ooo, and 7.O3 francs were needed to
buy dollar, compared with parity

Money Again

The market hesitated for while
after the opening because Of fears of an
other money squeeze. The rate on all in
dustrial call loans shot up to 12 per
cent at the close Monday and this led
the Street to look for a high opening
rate. Therefore there was much sur
prise when opening and renewal rates
OF and 7 per cent were announced
shortly before midday. With a fair
supply of funds available at these fig-
ures the. stock market Immediately
took on fresh strength and developed
into wild affair. This was around
12;l5, when Crucible Steel had it's most
sensational move of the day. Crucible
was was selling around 139 at the time.
The next sale was 142h, then came
another transaction at 14311, the next
at l4o, and then another at 146. There
after Crucible eased off, but came back
