London, June 11.

Week-end currency reports in Paris and Canberra today sot London bankers and business men speculating about the future of the French franc and the Australian pound and—fess immediately-about several other currencios, including Sterling, and the Belgiant franc. In London it was noted that last night's statement by M. Emmanuel Monick, Honorary President of the Bank of France, foreshadowed only "stabilisation" of the French franc.
