At Nov. 30 the discount had been a frac: tion over four cents, showing a significant drop from just over| three cents at the start of the}; m pcan aaegons onth. ; Friday's discount meant that $1 Canadian would purchase 96 American. cents. Howeve, there was no indication whether this was the "appropriate" di t which the government said last June it would seek. The extent of the govern- ment's sale during November of its official holdings of gold and U.S, dollars was indicated Fri- day in the Canada Gazette, showing reserves at Nov. 30 of $2,078,800,000. A month earlier the reserves totalled a record $2,110,600,000, reflecting a government pur- chase of $16,300,000 in U.S. dol- lars during October to counter- act upward pressures in that month on the exchange value of the Canadian dollar. Friday's report, however, in- dicated that downward pres- sures occurred in November, with the dollar dropping nearly a full cent despite the covern- ment sale of $31,800,000 in its holdings. Ontario's Relief Rolls Up In Oct. TORONTO (CP) -- Ontario's public welfare deparimenit an- nounced Friday that 59,405 per- sons were on relief rolls in the province during October--10,000 more than in October, 1960. Officials said gross total cost of relief payments in October, 1961, amounted to a $2,500,000.
