quarter.
There was considerable future" or
foreign selling of bonds, a logical re-
suit of the further weakness in ex-
change rates.
Weakness in So-Called Goulds.

sues. presumably as a result of the
Missouri-P Pacific receivership and ma
nipulation of specialties heretofore in

tect her credit by the establishment of
a huge war loan in this city. Over

of the esta blishment of such Il loan
were discussed with interest in finan-
cial circles, as Indicating that realiza-
ton had at last come to London that
pounds sterling We're no longer the
world standard of finance.
There seemed to be little doubt in the
opinion of those familiar with the sit

from income tax, outlined in cable dis
