LONDON, JUNE 29

THE VIOLENT FLUCTUATIONS IN EX- CHANGES CONTINUED TO-DAY AND CAUSED INCREASING PRESSURE ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC CON- FERENCE.

The dollar continues to fall rapidly and is dragging. the pound down with it to a considerable extent. The dollar is also fluctuating wildly vis-a-vis the pound. After touch 4.41 during the day, however, the dollar recovered to 4.25 and finally closed at about 4.29.

The London stock markets are beginning to show irregularity and British Funds are down.

While many committees dealing with specific tasks met in private to-day to continue their work, the major interest was taken in the currency problems, of which, in the opinion of many delegates, a solution has to be found if the hopes entertained of the conference are to approach fulfilment.

Many private conversations were held regarding the dispute but despite many rumours, closest secrecy was maintained by participants.
