FOREIGN EXCHANGE
NEW YORK, Feb 5 '11 existing cir
cumstances, except for cable ttaiWers, tho
foreign exchange market. might be termed
a financial fiction. Ratei for everything
except cables are nominal and devoid ot
special significance The situation Is con
fusing and causes considerable cmbairass
mont to operatois in exchange. In some
cases, Intending remitters on commercial
bills are tied up and, as before stated,
business Is only practicable by means of tho
cable.
Moderate changes In tlie rates quoted this
morning indicated a fit mer tendency In
Italian, Swiss and Scandinavian exchange.
Relchsmarks weie entirely nominal and
Vienna was the only open suif.ice weak
spot
Quotations were"
Demand sterling 4.75,, cables 4 76 7-16.
Francs cables B.83',4, checks B 83a.
Relclismark cables 67 94, checks 07 Vi.
Llro cables 7 2B; checks 7 25
Swiss cables 5 00, checks E.Ol'j.
Vienna cables 10.70, checks 10 65
Stockholm cables 29.65, checks 29.55.
Pesetas cables 21 40, checks 21.20.
(judder cables 40),, checks 40 11-16.
Ruble cables 28 50, checks 28.40.
The above figures for Vienna exchango
constitute a new low record.
Tlie market In tlio early afternoon con
tinued perfunctory In character, but Vienna
kronen sustained a further los, touching
10 6B for checks and 10.70 for cables. Tho
quotation of checks Is continued merely as
u matter of routine.
Other figures were:
Demand sterling 4.751, cables 4.76 7-16.
Franc cables 5.83 4. checks 5.81 , x
Lire cables 7.25, checks 7.20.
