LEFT IN TREASURY
All Paris Goes or,
Buying Spree

BU United Press
Stores in the exclusively French
sections of Paris were swamped to.
day by thosuands of persons seeking
to trade francs for goods Of any
kind. The drama of the franc best
could be seen in those district where
wild rumors seriously aggravated the
situation. The descent upon the
neighborhood stores was precipitat-
ed by a report that the franc had
slumped to 300 to the pound, which
would have made it worth less than
l cent.
Bankers were pessimistic. Their
customers were withdrawing tre-
mendous sums in francs to buy
foreign bonds.
II never saw such buying; l never
saw such flight of francs" a
banker told the United Press.
People are trying all sorts of
tricks, such as stuffing 1000 franc
bills i'm automobile tires to cross
the frontier. This will continue
until confidence is restored. Her
i-iOtt is the last man to restore it,"
Rumors that finance minister De
Monzie had resigned were denied
officially.
American banks, such as the
American Express Company, were
full of Americans exchanging
travellers checks for francs with
which to buy at the unprecedent-
edly low prices.
Stores in the Rue de la Paix hiked
prices hourly today to keep pace
with the depreciating exchange, but
department stores with predomi-
nently French clienteles were un.
able steadily to increase prices to
dollar values for fear of the temper
Of their French customers.
One important store opened two
hours early today to enable clerks
to change the price of every article
in stock. The manager arranged to
receive hourly quotations on the
franc and announced that henceforth
everything would be sold on a 81
basis.
Some stores deliberately dis.
eouraged French custom. A United
Press representative i'm a store
saw a FrenchwOman examine a
pair of gloves. The saleswOman
shOOed her away saying: "Don't
take those. They are for Ameri-
cans at 65 francs a pair"
