FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, July 15.-tR-The
free British pound jumped Is cents
today as buyers rushed the mar
ket for the doomed currency.
After July 10 free sterling will
be out of the picture as a means
of payment for British-Empire pro-
ducts.
London announced over the week
end plans whereby U. S. Banks
may open accounts registered by
the bank of England in which the
official buying-selling range of 81
o. IL to $4.O3 1-2 will be the guage
of value. Free sterling closed at
1886 after rising to 1891 at n
time.
What little free sterling is still
available was sought because 1t
will still have sharply limited uses
after the July 10 deadline. No more
free balances will be created, how
ever, London warned, and local
banking quarters expected the free
rate to quietly fade away in time.
The drastic restrictions were no
surprise. for Britain during the last
several months has frightened her
financial belt notch by notch in an
effort to direct all sections OF he
external trade toward successful
prosecution of the war.
The Swiss franc, placed along
with the dollar in a favored posi-
ton by the British edict, rose .o3
of a cent in terms Of the dollar.
The Canadian dollar advanced IL

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. July 15.-R-Wheat
prices rallied fractionally in late
trading today, wiping out about
half of the earlier one cent a bush
ell decline that established the low
est quotations chalked up on board
of trade blackboards since last
September !.
After dropping to u 3-8 for July
and 70 for September, wheat closed
at a net loss of IA to SO cent COM
pared with Saturdays close, with
July 70 ga and September 70 IL
to SO.
Early selling came largely from
dealers who were hedging new
wheat. The late rally was assocl.
ated. with forecast of fair weather
in Minnesota, North Dakota and
most of the Canadian belt together
with crop complaints from some
Canadian districts. Some buying
also was credited to mills, possibly
in connection with flour sales. ~
porters reported $500, 600 bushels
of Canadian wheat were sold to
Great Britain.
Corn closed 1-8 to l 1-8 higher
than Saturday, July 81 7-8 to 62
and September So SO to IL. Late
strength was attributed to short
covering apparently on the part OF
previous sellers who did. not wish
to deliver corn on July contracts.
No. / yellow corn was quoted 3 to
3 10 cents over the July future.
Oats closed IA off to IA up; rye
unchanged to 3-8 higher and lard
3-8 lower.
Hedging pressure was not large
considering the amount OF gram
arriving at terminals. Although re-
ceipts at southwestern terminals
were smaller than a week ago, n
volume coming into northern mar
kets was larger. Omaha had 567
cars compared with 292 a week
ago. St. Louis 86l against $40 and
1.076 cars the most of the season
were on track here although only
a small percentage was sold. l
