beginning to feel the effects of con-
gested security issues. The advance
in foreign exchange in New York sug-
gests the probability of gold exports
at no distant date; for London is quite
likely to take gold from New York

Bearing upon the foreign situation,
the continued decline in British Con-

what misleading to say that their
price is lower than at any time since
1928. The lowest price for 3%os was
in 1848. Many reasons are advanced
for the extraordinary depreciation OF
this premier security. 1t must be at
tributed to the high rates of interest
which are depreciating all Govern
ment securities. Fear of war with
Germany, and the various humani
tartan and socialistic proposals Of
