The United States stopped its gold outflow in August for the first time in a year, aided by a voluntary program to reduce the balance of payments deficit. Fed data show monetary gold at 13.858 billion dollars from July to August, with about 100 million in the gold equalization fund. Foreign governments have converted roughly 1.5 billion dollars into gold so far in 1965. The dollar remains guaranteed to exchange for gold at 35 dollars per ounce.
