New York, Apri! 1st.-The rise in
sterling is due 10 several factors Of
which the first and most important is
the report from official sources that
British exports are now running at nor
NAL pre-war rates. it being stated that
for February Great Britain's imports
were only two hundred dollars more
than her visible exports, but That her
invisible exports more than made uo
this difference. Secondly the continen-
tai countries that in the recent past had
been receiving from the United States.
were now importing ouly from Eng
land and the pawn Mt for these i'm
ports had created a demand for sterl-
ing Bills with the results that
sterling had risen to new high levels.
Also the foreign Exchange Market IN
the past few years has been a sympa-
theft: one, hat is, when STERLING ad-
vanced, so did the continental exchan-
] ges, and vice versa, the reverse has oc.
= Cured In the past few years. The third
factor has been the shipping OF gold
from London TO New York, the sfeo
being construed as an indication that
England is in a strong financial posi-
ton and may in the near future resume
her regular gold shipments. In view
VI tnG dIS0 lDdIlS the OlIlLSO OldlCo
made to England and the enormous
amount Of interest already overdue, it
is not likely that Great Britain will
make 1ood entirely on a free gold basis,
for some time. However, it is admit
ted by Bankers and Foreign Exchange
men who were bearish on sterling a
few mont.S ago, that England was
financially stronger than was generally
supposed a. The time
