Area Forecast
London, Aug. 18.-Unofficial London financial quarters believed today that a New York report that the Sterling Area's gold and dollar reserves would probably fall by a further £100,000,000 during the current quarter would prove sub- stantially accurate.
They recalled that forecasts from the same source last quarter of a fall of £70,000,000 were proved almost correct when official figures dis- closed a drop of £65,000,000.
On June 301 the Sterlog Area's reserves stood at £400,- 000,000. Any centinued drain mt the rale forecast today would mean that the gold and dollar reserves would be en- tirely wiped out by June 30 next year.
