FOREIGN EXCHANGE
SLUMP IS ALARMING
English Pound Drops
5 3-4 Cents.
EXPORT TRADE IS IMPERILLED
American Banks Are Bursting
With Gold; Remedy Sought.
WAR ORDERS MAY HALT
Europe, Compelled to Pay Premium,
likely to Stop Buying in United
States; Cabled Warning: Ig
nored; bosses Borne Abroad.
NEW YORK, Aug. SI. The tremen
dous export trade of the United States.
In which the country leads the world
for the first time, was imperiled today
by an alarming drop in foreign ex
change rates, notably sterling.
At the close of business tonight the
English pound sterling brought only
$4.55 i In American money. This is a
drop from its normal value of 31
cents; from its value of August 1 of
20 cents and from its quotation last
night of 53 cents, a 24-hour break in
values without a precedent. It marked
the lowest va'.ue yet recorded in an
excited mi-rKet where every day re
cently has set a new recovd of depreci
ation; and it indicated that sterling
was .neided downward with a momen
tum and velocity that promised to
take it to levels unthought of 10 days
ago.
Producers May K Effect.
In the face of this rapid depreciation
bankers here were wondering tonight
how much longer Great Britain would
pay the premium and buy goods in this
marKei wmch site can get elsewhere
wnere the value of her money is
Breaker. iney were of the opinion
mat American factories and producers
would feel the pinch if vatea went
much lower; that cancellation of war
urucrs ior everything except what
oreat Britain cannot afford to do with
out powder and shot, rifles and shrap
nel, aeroplanes and automobiles
would follow, and that there would be
few new orders placed by London in
America except for positive necessi
ties.
The reason and the remedy seemed
clear in the minds of international
bankers here. The English pound has
become depreciated, they said. Tjecause
l-ondon has failed to provide a method
here of paying the big bills now coming
uue to American shippers; the remedy
would be. they thought, to establish
quickly very quickly, unless sterling
should become still further debased
a mammoth credit loan in this market.
America .Xetiln aio Gold.
America does not want British gold
to pay for supplies; on this point
opinion was unanimous. The vaults
of Wall street and the banks in the
Interior are already choking with gold.
More gold would tend to create a
period of enormous inflation.
What New York bankers want to
do is to lend Great Britain an enor
mous sum of money, to be spent in
paying bills- here, on approved col
lateral of high-class American rail
way and industrial stocks and bonds.
This, it Is believed, will restore con
ditions to nearly normal. Apparently
Great Britain Intends to adopt this
course. Officially, neither Great Brit
ain nor her financiers have given an
inkling to bankers here of what they
Intend to do to remedy the situation.
When the deputation of British bank
ers reach New York on its mission
to strengthen the market they will
come with a plan. It was authorita
tively said tonight, of which their as
sociates In New York are wholly in
ignorance.
England Ignore Warning.
In this connection it was learned to
night that some of the biggest inter
national banking houses in New York
had pointed out in their cable confer
ences with London financiers three
weeks ago the clanger that lurked.
-.cau or. a naa suggested a course
which, if pursued, would have steadied
the markets for a month or until per
manent methods of correction could be
applied.
That cable message, it. was said, had
been entirely ignored. To this day there
has been no reply to it.
London has not awakened to the full
measure of the situation, in the opinion
of most international bankers here. The
tardiness of Knglish bankers, it was
ssid. is being paid in British gold at
rates ex-.remely dear. The depreciation
of the pound sterling. It was emphatic
ally asserted, is not costing American
manufacturers one cent, for all bills
payable by Great Britam here are pay
able in dollars. London bankers and
buyers are paying the toll a premium
of more than 6 per cent.
The only bright spot in the outlook
was the probability that the prevailing
rates would persuade British holders of
American securities to part with them
now and reap the 6 per cent profit
which thus would accrue.- These se
curities are needed as collateral for the
contemplated British credit to be estab
lished here. It is estimated that there
are American securities now in Great
Britain to the value of $2,000,000,000.
A sizable fraction of these securities, if
available, would restore ret to nearly
ii u Believed.

of the Bound-Up officials will make
the trip. The expenses, of the trip ap
proximate $45,000.
Reproduction of the show at the Ex
position was suggested by Exposition
officials and the long delay In closing
the matter has been due to the re

or equipment outside of Pendleton.

cash prizes, as well as special medals
to the winners of competitive events.

as that of George T. Ashcroft, of Los
Angeles, gunner's mate, first class.
Ashcroft's body, although little more

More remnants of bodies have been
found in the interior of the submarine,
but there has been no further identifi

fart as it has gone.
Several Bodies Found.
Several bodies of the 22 men who
went down in the submarine F-4

wreckage of the interior.
A hole was ordered cut in the for
ward compartment of the submarine,
which so far has been inaccessible.
Preparations have been made to em

Tuesdays War Moves
THE Russians thus far have prevent

carrying int- - ffect their efforts to

S-Kehead south of Friedrlchstadt,
while the Austro-German forces under
General Bothmer, who broke through
the Russian lines on either side of
Brxesany. Galicla, have been checked
at some points on the Strlpa Klver.
Along the rest of the front, the Ger
mans claim to be making headway, al
though some who got through th for
est region east of Bialystok have suf
fered a reversal at the hands of the
Russian rear guard. The points of
most interest, however, are at the two
wings. The Germans near Friedrlch
stadt are well east of Riga, and mill
tary experts say that unless the Rub
slans can dispose of the considerable
force, so as to threaten the Teutonic
flan.c. it appears Improbable that Fried-
ncnsiaat can be held much longer
without grave danger. The threat
against the other wing is not so seri
ous, as it is more distant and difficul
ties or the country are too great for
rapid advance.
In the Western theater of war th
French continue artillery attacks on
me Uerman lines and concentration
points without as yet any evidence of
a general offensive.
.The Italians are more active and re
port the capture of another strong
Austrian position southeast of Trent,
and of some Austrian trenches on the
Corso on the road to Trieste. Accord
ing to Italian accounts, the Italian
progress, while naturally slow on ac
count of the nature of the country to
be traversed, is continuous.
Except for the Turkish official re

news of the fighting Saturday and
Sunday on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
It is understood that the Balkan
negotiations are moving more quickly.

cerning a national service law which
the German papers are forbidden to

"The law will increase the age limit

PORTLAND BUSINESS
HEALTHY IN AUGUST
Grain Export Gain Most
Gratifying of All.
VOLUME IS TREBLED IN YEAR
Building Permit Total Is Hun
dreds of Thousands More.
LIVESTOCK INCREASE IS BIG
Postofflce Showing Is Bert foe
Several Months and Regular Rise
in Bank Cleariugs Is Now
Anticipated for Future.
Figures of Portland's business
transaction's for the month of August
reflect a healthy state of affairs.
Improvements are evident in many
commercial and Industrial lines, par
ticularly in livestock receipts, grain ex
ports and building permits.
This was the first month in mora
than a year in which these departments
all showed substantial Increases. Mean
while the bank clearings, for the first
time in nearly a year, show a volume
equal to that of a year ago; the poet
office receipts are about equal to thoss
of August. 1914. and many other de
partments show Improvements.
Grain Exports Most CiratifylnR.
The most gratifying item in the
minds of Portland business men Is the
wonderful increase in grain exports.
The volume virtually is three times that
of a year ago.
nearly three quarters of a mill
bushels of wheat were moved ou.
the local port for export.
Lumber, on the other hand, moved
smaller quantities as compared wi
August. 1914. This is due primarily to
the war. The European buyers are out
of the market.
The heavy grain movement promises
to continue through the present month.
Many steamers already have been char
tered for this business.
Substantial improvement is reported
from the Union Stockyards in hog re
ceipts for the last month. A total of
14,907 head were received there in Au
gust. 1915, compared with 10.335 head
in the corresponding month a ytar
ago.
Pos (office Receipts Ga'nlng.
Portland poetofftce receipts for Au
gust, according to estimate made yes
terday by Assistant Postmaster Durand,
will be $93,000, as compared to $93,4
for August. 1914, and $87,878 for Au
gust, 1913. Though exact returns when
the books are balanced today may
change the estimate,. the change would
be slight.
This is the best showing the postof
fice has made for any month of 1913.
Decreases in the amount of 1915 busi
ness over 1914 business were as higa
as $10,000 and $11,000 a month in Janu
ary and February. The decreases havo
gradually become smaller, however,
this month's receipts being less than
$300 under those of August, 1914.
Despite the fact that little wheat has
been paid for through the local banks,
the bank clearings for the month Just
closed are nearly as large as those of
August a year ago.
Clearings Showing Is Good.
For the last 12 months the Portland
bank clearings have been showing
varying losses from month to month,
due to the consolidation a year ago of
the First National Bank and the Se
curity Savings & Trust Co. It Is an
ticipated now that the clearings for the
remaining months of the year will eho
regular Increases.
Following are the clearings for the
month of August for each of the lat
seven years:
