New York, May 15-4) —Restora- tion of sterling hange to a gold basis tod eli ix years of erratic flunctu: British currency, which one time in 1920 drove the rate to an extreme low price of $3.19. Removal of the war-time “peg,” which had held the pound around $4.76, in March 1919, signalized the beginning of a period of violent renc- tions and rallies, based on varying political developments, trade condi- tions, gold movements and orgies of speculation in exchange which hither- to had been little known. Great Brifain’s rapid recovery from the devastating effects of the war reflected in a gradual appreciation of her exchange, once the bottom had been reached, with new high records established in each successive year although the rate ranged an average of 50 cents between the annual high and low points. .Frequent sharp breaks and equally’ brisk upturns marked: the course of trading, and at times caused much concern. Started to Climb in 1925 When the rate early in 1925 cross- ed the war-time “peg” point, it was felt that the last barrier in the way of sterling’s mazch back to parity had heen removed. Great Britain's’ restoration of the gold standard, with the protection of & $00,000,000 American “credit, in April, 1928, paved the way for the currency’s final spurt to a level of equality with the dollar.
