Foreign Exchange Weak.

Exchange on Europe weak, rates on
London and Paris especially falling to the
lowest level of the SEASON. The confusing
variety Of influences bearing on the ex-
change market is illustrated by today's
figures of our merchandise trade with Eu-
rope.
The real puzzle in the exchange market
is francs. This weeks cabled statement
of the half years foreign trade Of France
of merchandise have been reduced some
3,300 900, 900 francs. exports actually have
increased nearly 5000, ,0o0, 900. with the
result of turning the half years import
excess" of 5,941, 900. goo in 1890 into
surplus of exports amounting to 607,500,000
in 1921. Whatever the French economists
may say as to the unfavorable aspects
of reduced imports Of raw materials (and
most Of that reduction is accountde for
by lower prices), the outstanding fact Is
the extraordinary increase of the country's
export trade, in both quantity and value.
But this is only repeating history for the
thrifty and energetic French people. In
1871 the surplus Of imports into France
was 526, 900, 900 francs. Then the Prus
sian indemnity. like the present trade
debt to the United States, made it ad-
visa BILE to pay as much as possible with
goods. which was done so effectively that
1872 witnessed an export excess of 231,-
0O0. 900 francs rising to 349 900, 900 in
1875. That year, which was followed by
rapid financial recovery in France was the
last year to achieve an export surplus
until 1921.
Without any striking change in the bus
mess situation the weekend mercantile
reviews are beginning to reflect at least
a more cheerful drift Of sentiment.

New York, July 29.-Renewed ad-
vance of investment bond prices
was perhaps the most interesting
movement of todays markets. This
is a familiar enough incident of the
july reinvestment period and was,
in fact, considerably ir evidence dur
ing this month year ago. But it
has a distinctly new cause i'll the
declining money rates (whose ten
dency was marked today in the
market for time loans) and the evil
dent converging of investment de-
mands upon the European loans is
a development worth watching.
Nothing was indicated by the
days stock market except the rest
less backing and filling of protes-
sional spectators; such movement
CT prices as occurred was confused
and governed by no uniform influ-
cnce. The news was mostly of the
kind to encourage midsummer
