On Tuesday, however, there was a sharp recovery in British Government stocks on the terms of the new Government Loan to which I refer more fully in another column. Foreign stocks have been dull under the influence of politics, while outside what may be termed the Wine markets there has been continued activity in Transatlantic shares. A further factor somewhat affecting markets has been the currency and political crisis in France, for, hi-spite of M. Laval's first victories in the Chamber, gold continues to flow out from France to the United States.
