Pound Up Strongly
Al New York After
London Slump
Rally Motivoted Partly
By Talk Of Further
Cut in Dollar
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Jan. "A strong
rally lifted the British pound in
terms of the dollar today as the
trading currents turned to the buy
ing side following further weakness
in the pound in London before
dealings started here.
The upturn got under way as
Wall Street was speculating on the
points President Roosevelt might
stress in his annual message to
Congress,
Some exchange dealers said the
rally had been motivated partly by
resumption of gossip that the fall
in the British currency in recent
months eventually might force an
other devalution of the dollar in
gold
More than canceling yesterdays
sharp break, the pound was quoted
Is cents higher in terms of the
dollar by early afternoon.
Gold in London advanced about
9 cents to the equivalent Of S3479
fine ounce. still shade above the
price where it may be profitably
shipped to the United States.
The upswing affected the French
franc with a boost of .OO2s cent.
Currencies which had benefited
yesterday by the switch of capital
out of London. notably the belga
and Swiss franc, declined narrowly.
The guilder was also a shade down.

 The first two rounds of bidding were normal showed my heart support and my partner showed his spade stopper after the adverse spade bid.
 On the third round saw on op- portunity to put something over on the opponents. It was doubtful whether we could make four hearts, but it was certain that we could hurt four spades. I decided to try to induce the opponents to bid four hearts therefore leaped con. fidently to four hearts. and the bid hDd the deDired result.
 We set the contract 300 by win- ming two spade tricks, one heart,
