French Franc Showing
Some Improvement

Paris, July y Up - The French
franc reacted favorably today, clos
Ing officially at 1896 to the dollar,
as against 1922 yesterday.
The reason given in financial
circles is that the bear movement
has gone far beyond the point justi-
fled by actual circumstances and that
a recovery from the violent fiuctua-
tons is certain.
They assert that there is nothing
behind the present downward move
ment but political apprehension sup
ported by speculation. Prospects OF
a national union cabinet to succeed
the Herriot ministry at an early date
have also had an influence.
