The Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

The European exchanges fuctuated
within relatively narrow bounds dur
ing the last week, and, although the
net result was lower quotations in
terms Of dollars than those prevailing
at the close Of the previous week, there
was an upturn toward the end of the
week. In proportion to the amount of
present-day unpledged European hold
ings Of American securities, there has
been Heavy foreign selling recently as
a result Of the striking disparity in
the international exchange market.
The depreciation Of bonds in the
American security marts, although
great, is far more than overcome by
the exchange differences. and foreign
holders are able to sell securities here
to yield far more pounds, francs, lire
and marks than they originally paid
for them. Just as Americans, in some
instances, are now purchasing internal
European bonds and European ex-
changes in the hope of profit in the
event Of movement toward the nor
NAL in the international money mar
ket, 80 Europeans, performing the re-
verse operation, have been taking
profits by selling securities. The Of
fering OF Japanese sterling bonds from
European sources has been especially
pronounced.
From British sources, favorable

Supreme Court sits Again

A new speculative element. kept in

be injected into the situation beginning

Supreme Court resumes it's sittings
after a recess lasting through Febru-

important decisions are expected to
be handed down: The one in which
Wall Street is chiefly interested Is that

non-taxability Of stock dividends. Then
there are decisions pending in the anti
