BANK OF ENGLAND LARGE GOLD HOLDINGS British Wireless RUGBY, April 2 A reason l'or the reversion • to £260,000,000 as tho Bank of England's fiduciary issue is to be found in tho bank's recent big acquisitions of gold.

BRITISH BALANCE-SHEET POSITION SATISFACTORY British Wireless RUGBY, April 2 The national balance-sheet is generally considered to bo highly satisfactory in view of the great difficulties of tho past year. If the December war debt payment to the United States had not vitiated tho calculations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Budget would have resulted in a surplus of £5,250,000. The Treasury returns had little effect yesterday morning upon gilt-edged securities on the London Stock Exchange and they remained steady.
