LONDON, June Np).-The Amer
ican dollar deprecated in after-hours
trading today to $41314 to the pound
Thus the pound sterling attained its
highest value since Great Britain left
the gold standard
Market men were at loss to explain
the abrupt movement. Yesterdays bank
close was $4.057s, and thus the quota
tion represented a depreciation of 73s
cents in one day. 1t was believed that
selling emanated from New York.
The exchange market was sensitive
with irregular movements out of pro-
portion to the business done. There
were some covering orders which helped
in a temporary slight recovery of the
dollar IN the afternoon, but at the Off
cial close the rate was $4.101s. and in
subsequent dealings the downward
movement continued.
The British pound appreciated also
in relation to the French franc, moving
to 85.68 francs.
PARIS, June CP.-The United
States dollar closed at 20.90 francs to-
day, off "a centimes from yesterdays
quotation and the lowest rate since the
United States left the gold standard.
In trading after the Bourse closing
the dollar was driven down still further
to 20.80 francs. Active selling from
London was an important factor in this
