This morning the franc dropped Commonwealth & S. to 111.35 to the pound, 35 centimes
Commonwealth $6 below the legal level.
cum, pl... 541 Consolidated Edison 384 Consolidated Oil Continental Oll Corn Products
It was a day of agitated move- inent on the market, caused by spasmodic - Intervention by the French Exchange Equalisation Fund. After its fall to 111.35 the franc was brought up with a jerk to 111.80.
It was then allowed to fall slowly and closed at 110,97. This com- pares with the 111 of yesterday's | Distillers Corpo Bes final quotation.
བར། ན་་་་-ཅན་ན The activities of the Equalisa- Douglas Aircraft tion Fund and the nature of the Du Pont demand which is depressing the frane are a subject for specula- tion. Some close observers of the market believe that the fund has spent large sums in buying" dollars and gold during the past few days. This would cause a fall of the franc.
