FRANCE CALLING FOR GOLD.
Withdrawals from the United State.
Will Continue.


The movement of gold has been In
progress since early May. will be con-
tfnued BY the engagement OF $1,000.
900 for shipment Tuesday. The ek-
portation Of gold Is attributed By ex-
change experts TO the attempt OF the
Bank OF France TO recuperate its gold
reserve. which has been lessened by
the withdrawal Of Russian deposits
from France. Since April France has
taken about s2e.se0.o from Axneri-
ca, s3.000.o00 has gone to London,
and 100000 to Holland. New York
exchange houses express, the opinion
that the movement OF gold to France
Is likely to continue nntil the demands
Of the Bank of France are Satisfied.
