POUNDS STERLING AGAIN AT LOW MARK
The New York market opened with the pound at a low of 4.64 dollars as francs dropped to 6.04 and Italian exchange weakened further. Banks showed small variations in rates while Ottawa shipped nearly five million dollars in gold to Wall Street for the British account. Officials at J P Morgan & Co said no further consignments were expected. A British war loan of about 500 million dollars was discussed as a means to restore exchange balance with England seeking to issue two year bonds tax free.
