C R Exports Largely Unchanged by Franc Devaluation
Cedar Rapids exporters see little immediate impact from the 12.5 percent devaluation of the French franc. If the British pound drops further, however, Cedar Rapids firms with English ties could face higher costs. Nissen Co executives warn a weaker pound would lower their English equity in dollars. Amana Refrigeration notes France sales are nominal though Ivory Coast markets may feel effects. Link-Belt Speeder faces few orders with France distributor. A stronger German mark could shift demand toward foreign goods.
