British Financier Says Future Is

LONDON. February l. Colin F.
Campbell. chairman of the National
Provincial Bank. told stockholders at
their annual meeting today that the
future of the international money mar
ket will depend largely upon the result
of the United States monetary expert
ment
The necessity of a stable monetary
standard was stressed by the speaker in
discussing President RooSevelt's bold
revolution" which. he said. was re
garded with some apprehension by
those with long experience in financial
affairs"
He continued:
When the Government of the rich
est nation of the world is making bold
and astonishing experiments with its
currency and has created fund equal
to about f400. 100000 in order to carry
them out, the future trend of finan-
cial conditions must necessarily remain
obscure"
The speaker emphasized that I'VE
must remember how intense was the
depression with which President Roose-
welt had to deal"
America, he added, needed pow
erful tonic
He said that it remains to be seen
whether this policy will be justified by
the ultimate results"
Meanwhile. Campbell said he be-
lieved that the pound would retain its
strength and prestige, "as long as We
are not led away into commodity values
or silver values, or, in fact, any basis
but that of gold"

By A MOTHER

L through a lot of suffering before
they learn the simple secrets of
good health. Here's a letter from
Mrs. S. N. Tintinger, of Cascade,
Montana, that tells its own story.
"After the birth of my daughter,
who is now nine, suffered terribly
from constipation, and tried all
sorts of remedies, but got little re-
lief. Two years later, after my boy
was born, my lower intestine seemed
to become partially paralyzed; my
digestive system became upset; my

prescribed Nujol. However, l took
it faithfully, and although it was
several weeks before l became

DOLLAR OFF IN PARIS

PARIS. February 1 CP).-The United
States dollar fell off % centimes on
the foreign exchange market today,
as result of President Roosevelt S
gold announcement. to close at 1866
francs (639 cents to the france. The
dollar closed last night at 1898 francs
1923 cents to the france. after a gain
OF IL centimeS.
Considerable selling and further gold
shipments to the United States were
expected in financial quarters.
A stabilized dollar was welcomed in
financial circles and the American
equalization fund approved.
Experts of the Bank of France were
glad to see the dollar pegged. making
it one step closer the gold standard.
The only difficulty foreseen in these
quarters was in keeping the dollar
down. because the United States is a
creditor Nation and the world is bullish
on America.
Forecasting heavier gold buying,
financial authorities expressed the hope
the United States will be moderate"

LONDON MARKET TENSE
Dollar Only Portion of Cent Less to
the Pound Than Yesterday.

LONDON. February 1 CP)-The new
American dollar, its value fixed at 59.06
cents by President Roosevelt. closed at
4972. to the British pound today after
the most tense day in many months in
the London money market.
The closing quotation was only 2, Of
a cent to the pound weaker than yes
terday
Withstanding all the influences of a
monetary situation bristllng with un-
certaintieS on account Of the President S
devaluation proclamation. the London
market quickly adjusted its rate to the
new gold price.
Changes Not Sensational
While the 'Kaffir ring" on the stock
market stirred up excitement as gold
shares gained. the exchange market re-
vealed no sensational changes.
The dollar opened at 503i2 to the
pound. weakened to 504 at which
point it had deprecated II. cents to
the pound since yesterdays close-then.
in the early afternoon, strengthened by
good general buying, rose to 5.02
There were slight fluctuations in the
midst of this recovery. but. in general
the strengthening movement was well
sustained. and it continued to within
1TacllON OF yesterday 5 leNel.
The impetus was given by general
demand for commercial purposes. for
the repatriation of American funds,
and to send British money into the
operations on Wall Street where traders
expected prices to improve.
Commodities are Watched.
Market dealers centered their atten-
ton on American commodity prices
closely as likely indicators.
There also was some uncertainty as
to the Presidents gold policy. and,
pending a clearing of the atmosphere,
irregular movements of the dollar on
the exchange market are expected.
Meanwhile, dealers say they believed
it would be profitable to ship god to
America. and are expecting some such
tranSa ctions in the near future.
The French franc received support
from all quarters and rose rapidly to
the firm figure of 1906 to the pound
and then closed at 1888. as compared
with yesterdays close of 1858
The German mark closed at 1295i
to the pound and the Dutch guilde1 at

In terms Of the French franc. the

Should the French franc rise to its

pound hold at 1914 francs, foreign ex-
change dealers calculated that the

regarded as an uncertain quantity,
however, since it might decline further
in terms of the French franc.
