The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchange rates moved irreg-
ularly yesterday, and changes were
small. Sterling developed strength on
steady absorption Of offerings after the
quotation had dropped to 1892. The
f:rmcr tone carried the final figure to
$3.92@, up Il.
French and Belgium francs and lire
were under pressure most of the day,
however, and showed sharp declines.
There was increased demand at the
lower levels, and French francs recov-
cred slightly from the lowest. Other
currencies moved irregularly within
narrow range. Greek exchange again
got below cents.
Brazilian and Chilean rates i'm
proved, but exchange on Argentina
dropped fractionally. There were no
changes in rates on Far Eastern points.

North Dakota.
(By The Associated Press. J

Fargo n. d.. March 2S.-Hearing on
the financial condition of the coOpera-
tive stores company fostered by the
NOnpartisan League in North Dakota

trict court at Minot The company,
which recently went into voluntary re-
|Cciycrship. continues to do business

las 10000 members, according to Mr..
Johnson. and with any kind Of crops
and any kind Of price this year will
overcome its financial difficulties
Mr.. Johnson attributed these prin-
cipally to drouth and five years Of crop
failures in western North Dakota. He
said that the company had issued stock
to the amount of $9S1 900 and that
St!N.OGO was represented by unpaid
notes. Most OF these notes. he said,
We're held against farmers in the north
western part OF the state where the
drcuth had hit hardest.
Other reasons given by Mr.. Johnson
as contributing to the company's straits
were the collapse in grain prices, a
slump in business caused by the mild
winter and falling prices which caught
the company with stocks bought u high
prices.
Goods handled consist mostly of
groceries. shoes. tires. work clothing,
kitchen utensils. and made to order
si.its.
While contracts under which stores
we're placed in community provide
that earning after the initial $4,000,
which is to go into a store building.
may be used in part for educational
work along cooperative lines, Mr.. John
son said that no money had been eX-
pended for that purpose.
The company's largest creditors are
the closed Scandinavian Bank of
Fargo. and the Peoples State bank of
Grand Forks, both of which were re-
gardcd as friendly to the NOnpartisan
League The cooperative company
owes the first named bank 100000 and
the latter $4,000. its total owed to
banks aggregating 100000.
