DEALINGS IN FOREIGN GOLD

PRICES ABOVE OFFICIAL LEVEL

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 24. There is no indication whether the British authorities intend to follow the example of the United States Government in suspending dealings in foreign gold at prices above the official level; says Reuters financial correspondent. London bullion brokers have received no official instructions to cease such dealings. Offi-

cial quarters vaguely hinted that some action had been taken but refused to be quoted for any denial of the New York reports that the Bank of England had failed to ask British buyers to refrain from such dealings. The correspondent adds that London authorities may feel that London, rather than some other centre, is entitled to earn a few badly needed dollars as commission. Alternatively, London may be waiting for a clarification of the United States policy. Waitomo (Union Company), to leave Vancouver September 25 for Papeete, Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, Sydney.
