The Egenin0 Post, in its Wau street article,
says: The talk OF exports of gold was still
the point that attracted most attention,
though 1t appeared TO have lost good deal OF
the ehect which it had yesterday, when II
was announced SO suddenly that 1t took
everybody by surprise, The important fact,
however, became known before long that the
rates FOR actual purchase of bankers demand
Dllls was only "a S9l4, which is 1at9l4 below
the rate at which gold can be shipped with
out loss to the shippers. This made 10 more
clear that the advance in the rate of exchange
had been artificial, and that there was no
legitimate financial reason for the export OF
gold"
The Stock Exchange will not be closed on
me satuI days following Christmas and New
Year days.
