for the unusual strength exhibited
by British bond issues during the

The rise in Angio-Frenc s per cent

amounts to three points for the last

exclusively due TO foreign buying.
The available funds for the pur-
chase are drawn from two sources.
One is the heavy selling OF Ameri-

inent British investment trust is re-
ported to have sold the last block
Of its American railroad bonds and
invested the proceeds in Anglo
