DOLLAR EXCHANGE WILL FALL

A shipment OF gold from India--the
first yellow metal to be delivered in
this country since the movement from
China and India commenced recently
has just been received by the Guar
snty Trust Company of New York.
The shipment is precurrent to gem
erai movement, the trust company
says, which should bring to the United
States a very substantial amount of
gold and which IS responsible, Incl
dentally. for the flrmer tone of the
rupee and teal rates which has been
noticed lately.
Concerning events leading up to the
present movement OF gold from tho
Far East, the company says:
All the visible stocks OF silver, in
Guiding the silver dollars sold to Great
Britain under the Pittman act, were
insufficient 10 settle the trade balance
rolled up against the world by India
and by China during the war. No
silver being available, gold was re-
sorted TO. and yellow metal was ship
ped 70 Bombay, Calcutta, Singapore,
Hong Kong and Shanghai from South
Africa, Win Londan, from Australia
and from New York and San Francis
coo. India and China absorbed gold
BY the tens Of millions but their rates
OF exchange continued TO soar until
March OF last year when the rupee
was quoted In the neighborhood of S.4s
and the tael as high as S1.70 These
high rates not alone attracted gold,
but also commodities I'm large amounts
with the result that tho trade balances
were first settled and then reversed.
The commodity panic attendant upon
the readjustment period i'm both Eu-
rope and the United States virtually

went from $.4S to s.25 ard the teal
from $1.70 to $40.
Expressed in terms of taels and ru-
PEGS, Chinese and Hindus have about
100 per cent profit in their gold and,
in view of the famine in China and
the hard times prevailing throughout
the Far East, the Orientals are now
taking their profits in the way OF
sales of gold and the metal in the
market is offered at prices which rep
resent a discount of about 6 per cent.
Gold usually flows to the nearest
premium market, and. in the case of
India, Yokohama was the first alb
sorber. The weight OF this metal
shortly began to tell on the yen rate,
which, quickly fell from 81 IL to less
than .48-thereby making further ex-
ports Improbable. There remains one
premium market for the shipment of
gold, and that is the United States.
This explains the movement of gold
from Bombay to New York and from
Shanghai and Hong Kong to San
Francisco.
