British Stocks Face Jitters as Dansig Talks Persist
In London the German stance on Dansig negotiations triggered market nerves. Sterling pressure rose while authorities drained gold to defend the dollar rate. Continental capital fled to New York amid devaluation fears, with the Financial News warning against further gold drawdown and the Financial Times focusing on franc undervaluation as the main unrest. Copper led gains among metals as German demand supported prices. Steps to marshal U S assets for insurers and Lloyds are in place, with a War Insurance scheme proposed by the British Chambers of Commerce War Association featuring an initial two pence per cent premium up to one per cent after war breaks out.
