All foreign exchange rates. with the
exception of Italian lire. were stronger
YESTERDAY Lire declined to new low
level on the present movement Foreign
exchange experts said that the rally in
sterling was due to the fact that the
Lusitania on her arrival brought be-
tween fi,500.00o and f2,0O0,000 in
American securities, which had been
sold In London. Naturally this would
cause considerable buying In this
market TO make remittances against
these securities. The advance In franc
exchange brokers believe to be due TO
the fact that considerably more gold
is expected to arrive here, either for the
account OF the Bank Of France or to
Offset the depreciation In franc exchange
or to establish a French credit here.
During he last few days an interna-
tional banking house with strong French
connections which has figured promi-
uertly in gold shipments between this
country and France has been an espe-
cially active trader In francs, and this
has lent color to the cable reports that
more gold was on its way here for
French account. either from Ottawa or
from France itself.
The decline in Italian lire TO 5.s5A
