FRANCE & BRITAIN DISAGREE ON GOLD PROBLEM.
Paris, Jan, 10. Le Motin says that the recent conversations between British und French experts on the gold problem has not resulted in un
understanding.
Although France lowered the rate to two per cent. In order to chock the flow of capital to Paris, the Bank of England refused, for reasons of prestige, to raise the rate to four per cent. British financiers wanted a full dress con ferance on the gold question, but France preferred direct conver-
sations.
