OYER FRENCH FRANCS
Wall Street Dabblers Frankly Are
Worried Over Long Con-
tinued Decline.

New York, July 81 P,-The spec
ulative portion of Wall street was
uneasy today as a result of the con-
tinued plunging of the French franc
and reports that Frenchmen were
investing heavy in American securi-
ties.
The franc sold below two cents
yesterday, less than half its value
at the beginning of this year, and
one-tenth of its par. Inspired by the
muddled political situation in Paris,
the rate continued its downward
course and at the close of trading
stood at 1.93a cents, its lowest level
for all time. Since the first of last
week, the franc has lost about 65
points. Par is 1913 cents.
Wall street was informed that the
French public was investing heavily
abroad in spite of legal restrictions
against exporting capital.
Bankers here estimated that
