Gold Currencies
Have Easier Tone
In Quiet Trading
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED fresS.
A slightly easier tone in leading gold
currencies, largely because OF week
end adjustments, marked foreign ex-
change markets yesterday.
Trading was quiet in all centers, In
marked contrast to the feverish ac-
tivity carried on at the end OF the
previous week when international
banking quarters, spectators and
other interests claShed in a free Tor
all to protect individual positions over
week end that held much uncer-
tainty concerning the future Of the
French franc.
Since that time there has been con-
siderable improvement, largely based
on the stand against devaluation taken
by leaders of the dominant political
parties in France and while the situa-
ton still contains many elements of
uncertainty. foreign exchange experts
were impressed by the behaviour OF
the franc after it rallied above its
gold export point.
At the closing in New York, the
franc was .003s of cent lower at
6.5e1s cents, the British pound sterl-
ing was unchanged at $4.9612, Swiss
francs were 03 of a cent lower at
32.37 cents and Holland guilders were
06 of a cent off at 67.6l cents.
