Sterling exchange came down not quite 2 cents in the pound, and this told the story of Amerlcan banking opinion regarding the Importance of the British labor outbreak. A de- cline of this extent would have been nothing during the long period be- tween 1914 and 1925, when Great Britain was off the gold basis. Tt was a fair-sized drop, considering the fact that England had resumed re sponsibility for meeting the dollur and the other currencies in gold. still | it did not suggest anything revolu- tionary. In banking circles here there is great faith in the conservatism of the ¥nglish people. There are differences of opinion regarding the mine wage question and the apparent willingness of the other English trade unions to join in. But there is a sincere con- fidence in the intrinsic stability of the majority of the English people when it comes to a question of economic and political upset.

This part of the market, which led everything during the speculative campaign of October and November, has not since realized anticipations. The grain market has been hit by the thought that the big English strike would hold up shipments of American wheat and corn. Cotton has not been 0 much affected, although it might have been expected to be. The point in question 1s that indications for the new crop have been reduced and that this might offset even the possible re- strictions on the English demand for the American staple. French and Belgian Exchange Down. Both F¥rench and Belgian francs made a new low for all time during the last week. Toward the end of the week there was some talk of official support. The bars have been removed 80 far as further advances of American credit are concerned. But it is still doubtful as to whether the French fiscal program and the Belgian fiscal program will eventuate in a real bal- ance of the budget. Until this happens it cannot be sald that the French a Belgian positions financlally are what they ought to be. "The French frane may be supported by American capital and so may the Belgian franc.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 8.—A majority of the wool buyers have returned to headquarters from the growing sec- tions and trading in wool, with the shearing season in full swing, is al- most at a standstill. That does not mean that the wool now being clipped will not be in demand despite the British strike. Rather It represents a shrewd business gesture on the part of consumers, according to experts, who have made a clowe study of the situation. “Always bluff the loser” is a maxim that has Its adherents in business as well as in poker. Miils and dealers have retired from the markets, not because they expect not to need and want wool, but because they hope, under the blow to British goods pro- duction, to buy It cheap. Now on Low Basis. They are taking full cognizance of the fact that light buying this year has already brought the general aver- age of prices at Boston 7 per cent below those of six weeks ago and 16 per cent under the November, 1925, levels. They are now on & lower basis than at any time since the Spring of 1922, With their own trade in the doldrums, the goods manufac- turers used only about 164,000,000 ?;)U_mls of wool {n the first quarter of World wool productions reached the grand total of 2,892,416,000 pounds in 1925, & gain of 88,000,000 pounds over 1924, and a sizeable part of that pro- duction still is unsold. Australla gain- ©d 72,000,000 pounds, the United States i5,008,000 pounds and Uruguay 1,600, 000 pounds, overbalancing losses In other countries. Production in Amer- ica this year is expected to show addi- tional gains. With Britain out of the market, dealers are expecting that the foreign wool markets will be adversely affected and that this will react in the United States toward lower prices. Improvement Is Expected. These are the bearish sides of the wool picture. On the other hand, con- ditions {n the apparel trades lead ex- perts to believe the domestic goods in- dustry will experience at least u mod- erate iImprovement before long. Consumer contracting for Fall ma- terfals and clothing has been 8o re. stricted that it seems almost certain to expand late this month or in June. If the British mills remain closed, production in America, Germany, France and Japan, undoubtediy will rise. Prices are now such that deal- ers have little or no profit on present stocks and will offer strong resistance to further depressing efforts on the part of the mills. Buyers aiready are displaying more interest in Fall fab- ries. Home statisticlans feel, therefore, that truding shortly will be revived, that prices may for a time strengthen, but that the movement of quotations will not be wide in either direction.
