GOLD'S HIGHEST DIARY OF LOCAL
PRICE
Chancellor On A Passing Phase
(Special Air Masadavica)
Lándor. Oct. 3 An advance ol 8fd in the price of gold to-day to 14233 246. per fine ounce established yet another record high level in the quotation for the metal The last peak was reached on September 3 at 141s. 78. per ounce.
That point marked the culmina tion of an upward movement Which commented on August 20. After that there was a moderate decline which lasted for few days, but on September 16 the full mark or the ebb was reached Bince then, with but few checks, the price has steadily risen to the high level recorded today, which com- pares with 124s. at the beginning of the year.

1,000-YEAR-OLD POEM IN THE ORIGINAL
(Special Air Mall Service)
London, Oct. 3. The 1,000th anniversary of. Fir- dausi, the Persian poet, will be ce- lebrated in London this month Dr. R. A. Nicholson, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge, will begin the celebrations with-a-lecture on Thursday in the hall of the Royal Geographical Society, when a por tion of Firdausf's" great work, the Shahnameh, will be recited in the original tongue, followed by an Finglish translation.
Last year in this room I ventured to put forward certain objects, the achievement of which I sug gested would stimulate interna- Wonal trade. Among them was the establisment of an internation- si monetary standard in which all the world would have confidence.
I am afraid we are not much nearer to that object to-day than. we were a year ago, but on the other hand one may remark that during these twelve months ster- ling has on the whole maintained a remarkable level of stability.
It is true that recently it has been showing a certain weakness, which generally occurs about this season of the year, and which has probably been somewhat accentu- ated by financial and: politieni. events in other countries. I do not anticipate that that is "more" than a passing phase.
