New
York,
Apri!
Ilst.—The
rise
in
sterling
is
due
o
several
factors
of
which
the
first
and
most
imortant
is
the
report
from
official
sources
that
British exports
are
now runping
at
nor-
mal pre-war
rates,
it being
stated
that
for
February
Great
Britain’s
imports
were
only
two
hundred
dollars
more
than
her
visible
exports,
but
that
her
invisible
exports
more
than
made
uo
this
difference.
Secondly
the
corntinen-
tal countries
that in the recent
past
had
been receiving
trom
the
United
States.
were
now
importing
ouly
from
Eng-
iland
and
the
paym nt
tfor
these
im-
ports
had
created
a
demand
tor
sterl-
ing
Bills
with
the
results
that
sterling
had
risen
to
new
high
levels.
Also
the
foreign
Exchange
Market
in
the
past
few
years
has
been
a
sympa-
theti:
one,
that
is,
when
sterling
ad-
vanced,
so did
the
continental
exchan-
ges,
and
vice
v~rsa,
the
reverse
has
oc
curred
In the past
tfew years.
'l'he third
factor
has
been
the
shipping
o!
gold
from
London
to
New
York,
the
step
being
construed
as
an
indication
that
England
is
in
a
strong
financial
posi-
tion and
may
in the
near future
resume
her
regular
gold
shipments.
In
view
of
the
large
loans
the
United
States
made
to
England
and
the
enormous
amount
of interest
already
overdue,
it
is
wot
likeiy that
Great
Britaia
will
make
ioood. ¢atirely
on
a
free gold basis,
for
some
time.
However,
it is
admit-
ted
by
Baiikers
and
Foreign
Exchange
men
who
wee
bearish
on
steriing
a
few
rmontins
ago,
that
England
was
finaueially
stroager
than
was
gererally
supposed
a. the
