CREDIT SITUATION
APPEARS IMPROVED
Strength in Sterling May
Cause Exports From New
York, However.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn TO Inc SJar.
NEW YORK, October 22-Yester-
days advance in sterling exchange to
the highest since July, 1928, led to the
suggestion that gold export movement
might be impending. Francs also were
higher than at any time since the Sum-
mer of year ago and the strength in
both was ascribed to Withdrawals of
funds from this market in connection
with the liquidation in stocks.
Sterling cables at 4.87a4, however,
compare with rate of 1891, ruling
when the last export of gold from the
United States to London took place.
There is, therefore, some distance yet
to go before sterling will be as high as
it was when America lost gold to Eng
land the last time. Probably shipments
could be made at profit around the
present level, but the margin would be
narrow.
Even if gold does go abroad, it is by
no means certain that the result would
be a tightening up Of credit on this
side. The Federal Reserve statement OF
last week showed total gold reserves of
SO, 004, 1886 900. loss on the week, but
comparing with S2,636, $4,000 in the
same week year ago. Gold exports
unless they reach Unexpectedly large
proportions, are not likely to be the
controlling factor in the money situa-
ton.
This depends on the extent of liquida--
ton in the stock market and the total
of new f1otationS. Judging from tne
drastic reaction in stocks, speculative
demands on credit are going to be cut
severely.
It is the money required to take up
the rights of various kinds, as well as
recent bond offerings, which makes IL
doubtful what the total OF brokers'
loans will show this week. Selling OF
stocks on yesterdays enormous scale
would make for a heavy reduction IN
collateral borrowings, but it must be
remembered that among the rights
which expired this week were those Is
sued by Bethlehem Steel. Union Car
bide, Shattuck and Pacific Gas q EIec-
trio.
AS far as the stock market is con-
cerned. more attention will be paid 10
the course of commodity prices than TO
credit The cut in California crude OIL
had been long expected and is not nkely
to have a great deal Of effect on the
market for oil stocks. Copper quota
tions on this side have held firm, but IN
London they have declined Tor nVe
consecutive days. Here there Is 1ust
enough uncertainty to account Tor the
failure of the copper stocks TO make
resistance to pressure, notwithstanding
the attractive price earnings ratio at
which they are selling.
