CLOTH MART BUSY

NEW YORK, Sept. % 0.N.SJ.
With more energy expended on
the running down of rumors than
on the booking of actual sales,
the gray cloth market today ex.
perienced a busy session. In
checking around. the market
found substance behirJ some Of
the rumors, while others origi-
mated in the vague mists Of un-
certainty. While the print cloth
division was wrestling with unde.
cision, the broadcloth division,
which had experienced quite a
furry of activity for the past
week or more, settled down TO the
pace Of the rest Of the market,
inquiry falling off substantially.
Sheetings continued dull despite
weekend price concessions.

CONTENDS
Pound to Be RevaIued Like
Franc, Economist Asserts,
While England Liquidates
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University, Bureau
Of Business Research

Director New York University, Bureau
Of Business Research
All informed persons. when
they read yesterday the heading,
Great Britain suspends gold pay
ments," said to themselveS-There
it is!
It is Of no use to beIittIe the Inn
pOrtance of this development. It
it a great blow to the prestige Of
the prevailing monetary system.
Blow Not Fatal
This is true both because Of its
psychological effects and because
England and the pound sterling
have been the main factor in
world trade and finance.
But the suspension is not the
fatal thing which some may sup
pose. This is not the first time
the Bank of England has sus-
pended gold payment and has
come back.
At present, the step marks the
abandonment of England's vain
effort to avoid a thorough reop-
ganization. She has borrowed
and has paid doles till her credit
has been impaired.
Now, at last, she is liquidating.
English credit must seek its true
level. This may well mark the
turn in England's affairs.
Pound to Be Revalued
1t seems rather probable that
the pound will now be revalued
and stabilized on lower basis.
The experience of France with
the revaluation of the franc
shows that this can be done
without fatal results.
Anyhow, I do not think Eng
land is going to abandon the
gold standard. We may see a
good deal Of direct trading Of
commodities, or barter" before
gold values are re-established.
But the world has not yet
found anything better than gold
as a basis for its standard money.
