NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—(P)
—The soaring price of gold
in London strengthened for-
eign markets Friday, revivi-
fied abroad the old rumors of
a possible increase in the
American price of gold, and
brought a brisk but short-
lived rally in the New York
stock exchange.
The gold price early in the
day was fixed in London at
the equivalent of $34.98 an
ounce and later was advanced
to 335.10—10 cents an ounce
higher than the fixed Ameri-
can price and the highest
gold has been in London’s
free market in two years.
Foreign Money Gains
The London parity price for
gold is $34.76, the limit on the
upside at which it would still
be profitable to ship the metal
to this country.
The pound sterling, the
French franc, Belgian belga and
Swiss franc all gained sharply
against the dollar as the gold
price rose, and as exchanges
abroad were filled with specula-
tion as to whether the United
States would devalue the dollar
by further increasing the price
of gold.
Early Rally Precipitated
A renewed demand for gold to
considered as the first choice of
the group chosen to conduct the
contest. The upshot of a long
evening of discussion was that
no prize was awarded and the
three designs meeting the high-
est favor referred to the full

following day. All of the de-
signs entered were viewed by
the full commission, but none
