. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE JOURNAL (CANADA) 1921 pt. 1. ITnder normal condi-tions the fluctuations shown would have been well nigh impossible since, theoretically,in ordinary times the rate could not go higher than par by an amount greater than No. 904—May 30, 1921 WEEKLY BULLETIN 861 the cost of exporting gold, nor lower than par by an amount greater than the costof importing gold. But during the recent abnormal period, due to the war, the courseof this exchange as recorded here has fluctuated far more widely and at times delicate working of the exchanges has not as yet recovered its normal limits,nor have economic conditions settled sufficiently to restore the rate depicted to theregular swing of the shipping points of prewar days.
