Present over Outlook London. Dec. 30.
The sudden end of the Paris Municipal strike, an achievement regarded by foreign exchange interests here as having greatly increased the prestige of the. French Government, Lrought about a small amount of bear covering in francs, with the rate improving from 14728 to 14725, while the one and three months forward rates now stand at 106 and 406 centimes, discounts, against 131 and 462% centimes, discounts, respectively, last night.
The volume of business done, however, was small and an undertone of nervousness still prevailed.
The ending of the jPatis strike, coupled with the recovery of Wall Street and the renewed assurance given by Mr. Neville Chamberlain. the Prime Minister, that he saw no evidence of an early end to the Nation's prosperity, was reflected by an improved sentiment on the London Stock Exchange, where prices tended to move upwards.—Reuter.
