Strong popco rumours swept Shanghal today touch- ing off a wave of wild speculativo transactions. The Gold Yuan, which was quoted yesterday in black market dealings at 70 to 75 to the US dollar, firmed rapidly to 60 or 65.
The black market price for gold dropped from $3.500 Gold Yuan per ounce to $3,200 Speculators interpreted ECA Administrator Paul G. Holl- man's remarks as meaning that the United States is backing a drive for a coalition govern- ment in Nanking.
