STERLING SINKS
4 CENTS LOWER
DESPITE COLO
Market Has Discounted to the
Full Importation of English
Securities-GOld Is
Not Wanted.

New York. Sept. I'm the face of many
apparent reasons for assuming a stronger
tone. the foreign exchange market
weakened to-day and sterling went down
four cents from Saturdays close, to si.G3.
Large offerings of bills were said TO be
the cause for the drop.
The market had apparently discounted
to the full the latest importation of gold
the rate on sterling declined. Even the
news that the shipment was almost twice
as large as expected failed to check the
slump. Another cause for strength. which
was responded to only by weakness, was
the belief that a remedy was near at
hand as only few days. at most. will
elapse before the arrival here of the
Anglo-French commission.
Although no one in authority was will
ing to father the statement. it was known
that local bankers would look with dis
approval upon steady shipments here
from England of gold in large quantities.
This view is concurred in by many out
Of town bankers whose support is count
ed upon here in lending Great Britain
and France the money with which to
pay for their enormous purchases Of sup
plies in these markets.
Instead Of turning to gold everything
shipped abroad. bankers here would much
prefer to lend their foreign customers
the money to pay for their purchases, Sc
curing the loan by prime American col
lateral. What Great Britain wants TO do
in this respect may be exactly the reverse
Of this 80 far as local fnanciers profess
to know.
Largely because of the activities of the
British censor. it was said tonight, the
Anglo French commission will reach New
York almost in ignorance of the situation
here. Local bankers have found it next
to impossible to advise hnanciers abroad
of the plight of foreign moneys in this
market. The censorship on cables has
built n wall about Great Britain, it was
said, through which the truth has uccn
unable to penetrate, so far the foreign
exchange sitaution is concerned.
The commission probably will come
to New York without any program"
leading banker said tonight. "Thcy can
hardly have a program because they
don't know what is happening or has
happened here They will have to study
the situation. analyze it and consider
what is needed. 1t would he highly i'm
probable to assume that they are COM
Ing here to do certain things which
they had agreed on in advance"
One thing which London bankers APP
parently have not learned is that the
United States does not want their gold.
This will be one Of the first things. it
Is said, with which the commission will
he acquainted when 1t reaches New York.
When this will be is prohlematical. the
censor having held up all news as to
their denarture-except that they have
actually left, and the personnel of the
delegation--but ii was generally thought
that they We're not more than IS hours
away.
