The pound sterling staged slight recovery from last week's alUime low before sinking back again to JZ.38662.

Gold was marked at the morning's fixing at $42, up 50 cents over Friday's fixing price. The increase failed to persuade speculators to unload the gold they were hoarding. All day long the price crept up, despite efforts of dealers to hold it down. The official price still is $35 an ounce. "People expect the level to go up even one dealer said.

Some thought the gold climb reflected uncertainty about the pound and dollar as well as the troubles In France. The pound, weakened to an all-time low of $2.3854 last Fri day when speculators switched from paper money to gold, re bounded 22 points, then settled back again to close with only an eightaolnt gain. There was a small amount of selling. At the close the gold price spread was between $42.10 and $42.40 an ounce. London dealers saw three main causes for the latest rise: Commercial buying for lndus-l trial purposes: Unwillingness of speculators to unload what they had bought over the past few months; and, New speculative demand.

Heavy recent demand has sent the price steadily up and records have been broken daily. AREA DEATH Edward O. Welch HOLLY HILL, S. C. Funeral services for Edward Q.
