Volcker said reducing the federal budget deficit was a more
310
important goal for Congress than drafting trade legislation.
311
"Reduce the budget deficit," Volcker responded when asked by
312

313
legislation priorities.
314
"If you don't deal with the budget deficit, everything else
315
you do is going to be counterproductive," he said.

<TITLE>THATCHER FIRM AS PRESSURE MOUNTS FOR ELECTIONS</TITLE>
824
<AUTHOR> By Colin McIntyre, Reuters</AUTHOR>
825
<DATELINE> LONDON, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>As pressure mounted on British Prime
826
Minister Margaret Thatcher to call a June election, she said
827
today that the decision on when to go to the county was hers
829
She was speaking to parliament after senior members of the
830
ruling Conservative Party urged her to call elections due in
831
June 1988 a year early in the wake of two more opinion polls
832
giving her party a commanding lead.
833
Asked by a Conservative back-bencher for an assurance that
834
the decision was hers alone, and did not depend on "media hype,
835
pressure and speculation," she replied: "The date of the next
836
election will be decided by Downing Street, not Fleet Street."
837
Downing Street is the Prime Minister's official residence,
838
Fleet Street the traditional home of the British national
840
A Harris poll for the breakfast-time program TV-AM gave the
841
Tories 43 pct of the vote, representing a majority of 132 seats
842
in parliament, their biggest lead since the party's landslide
843
victory in the 1983 elections.
844
In The Times of London, a MORI poll gave the Tories a 92
845
seat majority. It was the sixth poll to show the ruling party
846
with a big lead over the opposition Labour Party and the
847
fast-improving centrist Alliance.
848
Leading the chorus urging Thatcher to go to the polls in
849
June, Sir Marcus Fox, vice-chairman of the influential 1922
850
committee of Conservative back-benchers, said: "I have always
851
felt that it would be June, and this reinforces my view.
852
"I always thought June was right. We have got most of our
853
legislation through and to go beyond that I do not think would
854
be in the national interest."
855
Another Tory back-bencher, Anthony Beaumont-Dark, said: "I
856
have always been an October man, but I think it would be good
857
to get it out of the way now."
858
Their comments came as government officials dismissed
859
speculation about a snap election to coincide with local polls
860
in May, timed to reap maximum advantage from the recent
861
popularity surge, Thatcher's successful trip to Moscow and
862
Labour's current popularity slump.
863
Calls for a May poll were also prompted by Tory concern
864
over a steady advance by the Alliance, and the possibility that
865
if it continues it could rob the Conservatives of an overall
866
majority in parliament.
867
Today's MORI poll showed an Alliance gain of eight points
868
over the past month in around 100 key marginal seats where the
869
outcome of the next election is likely to be decided.

<DATELINE> ZURICH, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>Gold and silver closed off the day's
1064
highs on profit-taking, but silver, which continued to set the
1065
pace, remained well up on yesterday's close, dealers said.
1066
Underlying speculative demand for silver remained strong
1067
but profit-taking eroded the gains, taking the metal off
1068
indicated highs at around 6.80 dlrs to close at 6.64/66 dlrs an
1069
ounce. Yesterday's close was 6.52/54 dlrs.
1070
Some investors were noted selling gold and switching into
1071
silver. This combined with profit-taking to push gold down to a
1072
close of 418.50/419.00 dlrs from its opening 421.80/422.20 and
1073
yesterday's 421.50/422.00.
1074
Dealers said it was unclear if the silver rally had peaked
1075
or if fresh gains could be achieved in New York.
1076
"A lot depends on the Dow Jones index," one dealer commented.
1077
"Further gains in stock prices would take away a lot of the
1078
support for silver and gold."

Platinum ended 50 cents higher at 563/567 dlrs.

<TITLE>DOLLAR CLOSES LITTLE CHANGED IN FRANKFURT</TITLE>
1193
<DATELINE> FRANKFURT, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>The dollar closed virtually unchanged
1194
from yesterday's finish, but near the day's high after another
1195
extremely quiet session.
1196
With the G-5 meeting in Washington ahead of this week's IMF
1197
interim committee, traders remained reluctant to open any large
1198
positions. Towards the end of the day the dollar firmed after
1199
failing earlier to hold beneath 1.82 marks. Some dealers said
1200
Senate testimony from Fed Chairman Paul Volcker also lent
1202
The dollar closed at 1.8265/75 marks after opening at
1203
1.8200/15 and closing yesterday at 1.8260/70.
1204
Volcker said that a further sizeable dollar decline could
1205
be counter-productive, and that exchange rate adjustments have
1206
been enough to narrow the U.S. Trade deficit.
1207
Such remarks in the past might have moved the dollar
1208
sharply, today they only pushed it up 20 or 30 basis points
1209
when it was already firming for technical reasons.
1210
The dollar in any case held in a narrow range today,
1211
trading early in the morning just below 1.82 marks and rising
1212
to a high of 1.8270.
1213
Dealers said they were awaiting comments after the G-5
1214
meeting from U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker.
1215
Looking slightly further ahead, the market is awaiting U.S.
1216
February trade data, due on April 14.
1217
Another set of disappointing figures could push the dollar
1218
below its recent 1.80-85 mark range if there have been no
1219
supportive statements from G-5 officials in Washington in the
1220
meantime, dealers said.
1221
Sterling closed slightly easier at 2.950/954 marks, after
1222
opening at 2.951/955 and closing yesterday at 2.954/958.
1223
The pound has been buoyed by expectations the ruling
1224
Conservatives will win the next U.K. Election.
1225
But dealers said sterling now looks high against the mark
1226
and room for further gains must be limited.
1227
Many dealers believe sterling will enter the EMS joint
1228
float after a U.K. Election. In this case, its ceiling could
1229
well be at or near 2.95 marks, dealers said.
1230
The yen closed at 1.2550/70 marks per 100 after closing
1231
yesterday at 1.2490/2510, and the Swiss franc firmed to
1232
120.55/70 marks per 100 from 120.10/50.
1233
The French franc ended unchanged at 30.04/07 marks per 100.

<TITLE>LIVE HOG FUTURES HIGHER EARLY</TITLE>
1290
<DATELINE> CHICAGO, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>Live Hog futures ran up for gains of
1291
0.57 to 0.07 cent in eary trade paced by April and June.
1292
Fairly active demand reflected strength in cash hogs and
1293
the continued discount of futures to cash. The start of
1294
fieldwork limited farmer movement of hogs to market and
1295
prompted packers to bid up for hogs. Mostly steady to firm cash
1296
pork products added to support, traders said.
1297
However, prices slipped from the highs in latest trade as
1298
commercial profit-taking developed. Some selling was also
1299
attributed to expectations that cash ham prices will be falling
1300
soon on a seasonal basis, they said.
1301
Thomson and RBH bought while Packers Trading and Refco
1302
sold. Stotler spread long June/short April, they added.

gains of 0.55 to 0.30 cent at the start and then eased to trade
1471
0.15 cent lower to 0.15 higher in early dealings.

Active local carryover demand and mixed commission house

<TITLE>VOLCKER SEES TIGHT POLICY HURTING INVESTMENT</TITLE>
1575
<DATELINE> WASHINGTON, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul
1576
Volcker said a restrictive monetary policy would be damaging to
1577
investment and that a better course would be to restrain
1579
"A restrictive monetary policy would hit investment. You
1580
don't want to put interest rates up unless you have to," Volcker
1581
told the Senate Banking Committee.
1582
"That is not a constructive way to proceed," he said.
1583
Volcker said that given a choice between squeezing the
1584
budget deficit or squeezing investment, he would favor
1585
squeezing the budget deficit.
1586
In response to a question about banks, Volcker said he
1587
would be pleased if Congress decided to give banks a tax
1588
writeoff as an incentive for them to take greater reserves
1589
against loans to debtor countries.
1590
"If you give a tax writeoff for reserving against loans,
1591
then we will see more reserving and that would make me happy,"
1592
Volcker told Committee Chairman Sen William Proxmire (D-Wisc).

<DATELINE> ZURICH, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>The dollar remained confined in the same
1782
narrow range in quiet trading, benefitting only slightly from
1783
comments by Fed Chairman Paul Volcker that further sizeable
1784
dollar losses would be counter-productive, dealers said.
1785
It finished at 1.5140/50 Swiss francs after opening at

1.5128/38 and closing yesterday at 1.5185/95.
1787
"Volcker's remarks produced some buying interest but most
1788
people were still waiting to see what comes out of the finance
1789
ministers' meetings in Washington," one dealer said.
1790
Other currencies lost ground against the Swiss franc.
1791
Sterling eased after advancing sharply yesterday on
1792
expectations of an early U.K. General election. The pound ended
1793
at 2.4469/4501 francs compared with 2.4547/4578 yesterday.

<TITLE>LIFFE, AFTER RECORD VOLUMES, SEES MORE GROWTH</TITLE>
1906
<DATELINE> LONDON, April 7 - </DATELINE><BODY>The records in turnover set by the London
1907
International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) in March could
1908
be surpassed in the coming months, Liffe Chief Executive
1909
Michael Jenkins said.
1910
Last month, Liffe saw record monthly futures volume at 1.15
1911
mln lots, and record monthly options volume at 97,700. Total
1912
Liffe volume in first quarter 1987 rose to 2.8 mln contracts,
1913
or 89 pct up on the same 1986 period.
1914
Long gilt turnover in first quarter 1987 was 300 pct up on
1915
the year-ago period at 1.63 mln lots versus 409,500. But T-bond
1916
volume fell by 38 pct to 244,500 in first three months 1987.
1917
Jenkins told Reuters the higher volumes for gilts reflected
1918
in part the volatility in the U.K. Markets in recent months,
1919
while the falloff in T-bonds was an indication of the relative
1920
stability of U.S. Credit markets.
1921
Jenkins said he saw room for the whole financial futures
1922
sector to grow further in the coming months. In particular, FT-
1923
SE 100 futures had great scope for expansion, and turnover in
1924
them should be much higher by end 1987.
1925
FT-SE futures volume was 62,700 in first quarter 1987, an
1926
increase of 124 pct over the 28,000 contracts recorded in the
1927
same months of 1986.
1928
Institutions here had been slow to find out about the use
1929
of stock exchange futures, but they would now learn more,
1931
Commenting on the difference in popularity between gilts
1932
and bonds, Jenkins said Liffe had designed the widest possible
1933
variety of contracts so that at any given time, at least one
1934
sector would be volatile enough to attract trading. The current
1935
situation of U.S. Markets being steady, and U.K. Ones
1936
changeable, might alter completely in coming months.
1937
A further boost to Liffe's volume and attractiveness should
1938
come with the introduction of yen bond futures, he added.
