London, Feb. 25th—The¢ ‘'Daily News’’
says that a sensation
has been creatad
hy
|
the receipt
of telegrams
from
Canada

announcing
that
the
Govt.
has
a:ked
|
Canadian
Bankers
and
Bond
houses
to
.
desist
from
buying
Canadian
securities
'
in Europe.
These
purchases
have heen
.
going
on
for along
time,
asthe
high
-
rate
of exchange
favoured
such
obper-
.
ations,
and
as.
a
consequence
these
.
Canadian
securities
stood at prices
much
l
above
their
level
when

was
|
normal
The
cessation
of buying
from
i
Canada
would
practically kill the
rar-
ket in these
securities
for
the time
be-
ing
and
the
premiums
established
' by
these
operations
must
be
lost.
The

many inve:tors

regret
‘the action of the

very deeply.
