TAKES DAOP
NEW YORK, 16—In the New York
money market today, the English
pound sterling fell to the lowest
American value within the memory of
mortal men, and threatens to go still
lower unless the present abnormal ex
change conditions are remedied and
at once. The English pound sterling,
which has for years been the standard
value in International exchange, usual
ly is quoted at $4.85. Today is opened
at $4.67. French money is also de
clining rapidly and today was notice
bly weaker. It now takes about six
francs to equal the purchasing power
of an American dollar.
LONDON, Aug. 16—The English
pound sterling today closed for $4.64
In American money. The exchange
situation Is becoming serious as the
American manufacturers, who have
secured huge war contracts are de
manding their pay for the goods which
have beep sold and delivered. The
rapid lowering of the foreign ex
change, which the last few days has
seen, presages difficultities ahead,
which may result in the dethronment
of the English pound sterling. If this
is done the American dollar will be
come the world's standard of value.
