Interest Expressed in Rise of
Italian Lire in Exchange
Market.
BY STUART P. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 12.— The prin
cipal markets were closed today in ob
servance of the Columbus day holiday.
This applied to stocks, bonds, cotton
and Chicago grain. The banks being
there were no dealings in for
eign exchange, but interest continued
to lx> expressed in the remarkable up
ward movement which has been going
on in Italian lire and which reflects
the confidence in international bank
ing circles in the effectiveness of the
deflation measures undertaken by the
Italian government.
The remarkable difference between
the situation in Italian, lire and that
in the French franc is illustrated by
the comparison of prices now with
those of a year ago. The French
franc at 2.86 cents Contrasts with 4.60
at this time in 1925. On the other
hand, Italian lire at 4.11 are above
where they wore a year ago, when
the quotation was 4.03.
