SENTIMENT IMPROVES

Events which have exercised a
sentimental influence on the specula-
tive situation rather than substantial
changes in fundamental conditions
apparently are responsible for the re-
cent improvement in the European
exchange market, says the April is
sue of Commerce Monthly published
by the National Bank of Commerce
in New York
Chief among these" the magazine
continues, was the announcement
from London that Great Britain and
France intend to retire, rather than
to- refund, the $500 600 600 Anglo
French loan of 1915 which natures
next autumn. and the limitation of
movement of gold from England
and France to the United States In
connection with the payment of this
loan. While no definite information
regarding such movement is avail
able it seems highly improbable that
receipts would offset to any consider
able degree the outflow OF gold from
the United States which has occurred
during the past months and which
received cannot be regarded as pro-
viding a basis for the further expan-
sion Of the credit structure
AS a result of the conservative
policy which is being adopted by both
banks and borrowers toward future
commercial commitments, the peak
Of commercial borrowing seems to be
in sight. although only by a continue
ton of this policy is a basis afforded
for more normal credit conditions.

gestion; it met the emergency of
the unprecedented coal strike in a
way that private control could not
have done and assumed a heavy fl

would have proved highly disturb

more additions and betterments and
equipments than private control could
have provided during the difficult pc

of improved working conditions which
were clearly right; it not only did
not cost more than private control
would have cost during the same
