S. Embargo on Gold Exports Ex- pected Momentarily from Bium’s Cabinet cabinet and the governing board of the Bank of France labored to pre- pare measures for submission to & special session of parliament today. The proposed statutes, an official announcement declared, would re- duce “approximately one-third” the {ranc’s gold content. The bourse—stock market — was closed “for several days” as details of the suggested monetary revision were worked out. Informed quarters expected the gold embargo, which must bear approval of the governor of the Bank of France, would be pro- claimed formally Friday to halt the flow of gold from the country. Would Reduce Gold Content Prospective parliamentary action would be directed toward two specific projects: 1, Reduction of the gold content of the franc, now 65.5 milligrams, to between 49 and 43 milligrams, a per- centage devaluation of between 24 and 33 per cent, 2.

Wall Street exchange quarters said they had no knowledge of the reasons for the Russian move. The pound quickly rallied to around $4.96. British Pound Important Wall Street exchange circles said American authorities were much more interested in the level of the pound, in terms of the dollar, than in any other foreign curency, since declines in the-pound have tended to depress American prices. Securities prices in the New York stock exchange—the major world market open—trended upward, how- ever, as Wall Street experts hailed the French move as constructive and exchange was quiet, with mand, the “monetary equilibrium” accord of | > the three-power agreement-as a boon to France, whose foreign trade has suffered in competition with other ounteies whose currency is of less value.
