D. c. Gets Women's Classic.

MUCH the same situation may
wi exist in the open tourney trials
at Lakeside in Richmond. for
the open tournament itself will be
played at Philadelphia early In June
and all the local pros will try to qualify.
But a good deal depends on how
many places are awarded to Rich
mond as to whether the bulk of the
Washington pros will go there. In
the past some of them have essayed
qualification at Pittsburgh and Phila-
dephia, and with the tourney
going outside of Washington for the
first time in four years, the local field
at Richmond may be small
In place of these events of national
magnitude, however, Washington gets
the Curtis Cup matches at Chevy
Chase late In September, a golf affair
that will bring to the Capital the
leading feminine players of the
United States and Great Britain. 1t
also gets the Middle Atlantic wornen's
title event at the Washington Golf

UNCLE SANS UNIT
STILL WELL ABOVE
new GOLD PARITY
Bear.SeIIing Of French Franc
Futures in New York Is
Confusing Factor
COMMODITY PRICES JUMP
Gold Consignments from Europe
To New York Gather Mo-
mentum Saturday
by The Associated Prcss)

The sweeping and unexpected adj
vance OF the dollar In terms Of for
eign currencies was finally reversed
Saturday, but It still held well above
its new gold parity in terms of for
eign currencies.
A fresh furry Of selling appeared
in the French franc and other for
eign culrencies for time in New
York, after the dollar had declined in
London and Paris. but this soon was
absorbed.
Exchange dealers In New York re-
ported much speculative bear-selling
Of French franc futures, which was
regarded as highly confusing factor.
Foreign exchange departments of the
New York banks still were In tur-
MOL, with some maintaining con-
slant telephone connection with Lon
don and Paris.
The French franc closed In New
York at 6.33 cents. still 80 Of one
cent under its new parity, but 10 of
a cent over Fridays final level. The
pound sterling finished at $4931a, up
So cents.
In terms Of the French franc, the
dollar still was at premium Of near
~ S per cent, and at q premium Of
more than per cent over sterling,
based on the London gold price, which
declined moderately. The drop in
the London gold market, however. was
attributed largely to lack of fast
steamship sailings for New York.
Securities and commodity markets
again turned upward in New York
and Chicago. Many stocks gained
from 81 to S. a share in the New
York stock exchange In the largest
trading for Saturday since July.
and bonds continued to climb. Cot
ton gained 70 to IS cents bale, wheat
more than cent bushel, and silver
about cent an ounce.
Further gold coilsignments to New
York from Europe we're announced,
the largest being $5.750.O00 consigned
to Lazard Freres, and 100000 to
the National City Bank. It was esti-
mated that some $40,0o0,000 In gold
had been consigned to New York
from London and Paris this week.
