The figure represented a new high and was the first increase since De cember 1, the old price having been fourteen successive times. It also was the first increase, since the United States went Into the for eign gold market extensively, making ioreign purchases estimated to exceed 838,000,000. London's bar gold price was 832.48 on the basis of sterling opening at 5.i2ii to the pound. Apparently by coincidence, the new gold price Increase followed two group statements relating to the country's monetary ana financial condition. One was a study by the Brookings institution, holding (that the admin lstratlon's gold purchase plan oan not ha relied upon ito bring higher price levels, it called, for a reconsideration of monetary policies In relation to economic recovery, arguing that monetary uncertainty "sooner or later leads to a deterioration ofl gov ernment credit." The second development was al de mand of the national economy league for a balancing of the budget which would bring all expenditures, both ordinary and emergency, within re ceipts. The league contended the present rate of spending- would produce un sound money and estimated the gov ernment would close Its fiscal year next June 30 with a 84,000,000.000 deficit.
