New York, June 19.—Sterling ex- change was once more the feature in financial affaijrs. The pound sterling #ald this week at 4.76 1-4, the lowest juotation in over a vcentury. This is a discount of about 2 1-4 per cent., and compares with a discount of | ahout 4 per cent. on French exchange, 1F .6n Italian, 16 on German and 24 | on Russian. This demoralization of | exchange, as every one Enows, is due 16 the war and theé consequent impair- ment of national credit. The decliné | has been complicated by the violent | @islocation of our foreign trade with | the belligerents. | have declinéed materially ‘While our imports ,our exports have increased enormously, creating a fabulous excess in the latter of about one billion dollars during the closing fiscal year. These comparisons show that thus far Great Britain has stood the strain far better than any other nztion, and while it is possible that sterling may seéll at still iower figures, there are as vet no signs of weakness in Britain’s ability’ to rnance both hergelf and her allles until the end of the war. The exhibition of etrength and skill which British finance is making is remarkable, and far exceeds all expectations; nothing ke it having even been witnessed in history. Thus far the national debt of Great Britain has increased about $4,000,000,00, and has more than doubled in amount since the war be- gan. Mr. Asquith notified his felow- countrymen the other day that the war, which has been costing about $13,000,000 a day, including about $1,000,000,000 advanced to her allies, will soon cost over §$15,000,000, or at the rate of nearly $5,500,000,000 an. nally. ' Such waste 1s staggering.’ When it is remembered that the war is costing other nations proportionate- ly as much as Great Britain, and more where citiés and districts are wiped out,-this devastation seéms utterly be. sond human comprehension.

Bald- win Locomotive made a new high rec- ord at 66 1-4 and a few other spe- cialties of that class, including Beth- lehern Steel, rose one to two points. Some measure of the market's gen- eral trend may be taken from the fact that dealings in Baldwin Locomotive and Distillers Securities were much larger than the overturn in United States Steel and other usual favorites. Distillers at 28 1-2 also made a high record price. There was scarcely any demand for the high class railway is- sues, some of which remained unquot- ed for the entire session.
