tention usual by British warships whose
officers examine all passengers and ships

money, already deprecated to figures
without parallel in the history of
finance, took another phenomenal drop
today. The pound sterling sold down,
within the first hour on dealings, to
$3.50, break of ~ cents overnight
and a downward plunge of IL cents
within two days.
The drop caused the gravest anxiety
as to it's possible effect on American
exports, now at top figures. Continued
and unchecked depreciation, it was
thought, would affect tens of thousands
of American workmen. possibly by ulti-
mately closing down factories now
supplying Great Britain with commod-
tiles.
This effect was in perspective, in the
minds of some of the leading bankers
of New York. Before that could hap
pen, it was explained. there would have
to be cancellation or curtailment of
foreign orders to American producers,
at present totaling hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, and great diminution
in the value of new orders. Both the
latter contingencies were expected, it
was said, in case sterling should go
