TIE Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

Fluctuations were narrow in quiet
trading in foreign exchange yesterday,
and changes at the close were irregu-
lar. Sterling scored small advance,
cable rates on London being IL cent
higher, at s3.74A, while Belgian francs
eased off slightly and French francs
again dropped below cents.
Changes elsewhere in the list were
uniniportant.
The tone during the week was gen.
orally heavy, rates on leading European
centers dropping back almost to the
low level established two weeks ago is
a result of separations payments and
unsettled labor conditions in England
and on the Continent.
If you calculate the cost of the dol

were buying dollar with pounds,
marks or francs--its value at the close

Warns Against Excessive Issues
j. H. Gundy, of Toronto, retired head
of the Dond Dealers Association of
Canada. warns against the excessive
issue Of bonds in the Dominion "Un-
less we can educate public opinion to
conservatism instead of extravaganza,
to paying debts instead of incurring
them," said he, al think we are going
along road that is a serious one for
Canada to follow: While we want to
get securities to sell, and, from a short
sighted viewpoint it is our interest to
have lots of bonds, vet looking from
longer point of view and considering
the interest of Canada as whole, it
seems to me that the Bond Dealers,
Association should frown upon the bor-
rowing and spending of money and
urge people TO pay their debts rather
than mourning new obligations so rap
IDLY as has been the case in the past"
Lower Crude Oil Production
Crude oil production in the United
States during the week ended June f8
averaged 1.330.o50 barrels. This was a
decline of 1910 barrels from the esti
mated daily production of the previous
week. which was the biggest production
on record, and marks the first impor-
tent falling of in months. 1t also is
believed to be reflection of reduced
drilling operations already under way.
The big production of recent weeks. It
his been pointed out, has been due
largely to gushers. While Oklahoma
and Kansas increased their production
IN the week ended June 18, northern
aud central Texas, Gulf Coast and
Lonisiaan fields all declined. Mid
Continent production averaged T0f. .130
barrels for the week mentioned. de-
