NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Trade in cotton
was fairly active this morninff,' a tendency
downward being due to ra.lns In southern
Texas and a possibility of more, owing to
the tropical storm, which appears to have
moved Into northern Mexico Instead of to
ward' central Texas.
The hurrjeane was responsible for cloudy
conditions, however, In the southern part
of Texas, and there were reports of rain
at San Antonio, Taylor, Abilene, Lampasas
and South,
Initial quotations were 3 points higher
to 6 points lower. From the depression, the
market was rallied suddenly by advices of
another tropical disturbance In the vicinity
of the Bahama Islands, which, It was feared,
might reach the Kastern belt and cause
damage, following the recent long wet spell.
Prices regained most of the- early loss on
this news.
The market became firmer later on cover
ing, promoted by buying uncertainty as
to whac Monday's reports as to the tropical
"disturbances might show.
A dispatch from Yoakhum, Texas, said
that open cotton had been blown out and
the crop greatly damaged. Other messages
report rain following at numerous points in
Southwestern Texas. After Belling up to
14.38c for October, or a net advance of
about 10 OH points, prices reacted under
realizing sales, Later the market was
unsettled at a gain of about 6 to 8 points.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day are estimated at 8000 bales, com
pared with 8954 bales last week and 4897
bales last year.

'By FRANCIS W. HIRST
Special CoMe to the Ki'ritlnV Mofr.
LONUON. Aug. 19. The Slock Excli.tngo
Is closed today. Peace discussion again
Is nctlvo In Oermany. This morning's offi
cial noto concerning exports from Sweden
looked serious, but exchanges were unaf
fected. A trustworthy city authority has told
me that no great effect upon Anglo-Swedish
commerce Is expected. Ily placing nil
commodities on the prohibited' list all ex
ports would be subjected to the snme pro
cedure as , hitherto. There had been two
procedures, according to whether export
good3 were prohibited or not.
In our money Swedish currency stands
nt a higher premium than Norwegian or
Danish; trus the Scandinavian exchanges
nt noon yrsteidny stood: Stockholm.
10.5" ; Chrlstlnnln, 10.04 j Corjenhagcn.
17.05, which liavo been, roughly, Wrlr po
sition for poveral days.
Bank returns are reassuring aa regards
gold, and our Chancellor's recent speech
Indicates a resolve by the trensurj' to
maintain a gold standard and exchanges
even nt considerable sacrifices.
This policy. If I correctly Interpret tho
speech. Is entirely right. Meanwhile various
Indications suggest that facilities for credit
arc narrowing and that terms are rising
everywhere. Tho very best credit will find
Itself paying an extravagant rato for ac
commod itlnn before many months.
I can remember is hen our Oovernment
could hnvo borrowed millions on cither
long or short terms at from 2 to 21,, per
cent.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE INACTIVE
Now British Loan Is Dominating Influence
NKW YORK, Aug. 19. As was tho case
previously, tho foreign exchange market
In tho week Just cjoscd showed periods of
extended Inactivity.
Tho dominating Influence was the $250,-
000,000 now British C per cent two-year
direct loan. This was responsible for Im
provement In the Allied exchanges, although
tho conditions In rates were moro mnrlted
In French nnd Russlnn"exclmngo than In
sterling.
Oold Imports for tho week up to tho close
of business on Thursday nmaunted to $14,
120,000, bringing the grand total for the
year to date up to $223,895,000.
At tho close thcro were gains of 15 points
In rubles, 3 to 5 In Vienna kronen, In
franc checks nnd 1-1 G to ',4 In 90-day ster
ling, demand nnd cables, French cables and
roichsmnrk checks. Scandinavian kroner
showed a loss of 10 points, Swiss were down
4 point and lire cables and checks lost
U point.
Relchsmark cables were quoted nt 72 "S,
a new high on this movement, but this fig
ure wns disputed, ono of tho large Interna
tional banking houses with Central Power
ninilatlons asserting that 72 was the
legitimate high llguro of tho week. Busi
ness In marks was, however, of very
nominal proportions.
Tho decllno In Scandinavian exchange. In
default of other explanations, was set down
to tho decision of Great Britain to hold
moro strictly to tho blockade observance in
tho case of Sweden and other northern
countries. A further small exportation of
gold to Spain was reported.
Tho news of the week bearing upon ex
change Included roports of material new
orders for foreign accounts of Iron arjd
Bteel, copper metal and other commodities
and crop forecasts,
The minimum rate of discount of the
Dank of England was uncjianged at 6 per
cent. The proportion of reserve to liabil
ities of that Institution rose to 27.10 per
cent, a gain of 27 por cent tho previous
week und compared with an advance from
22.70 per cent to 23 per cent In the week
of 1915.
Total reserves Increased 1,301,000 ; bul
lion rose 803,000 ; other securities went up
3,169.000.
