The demand was fair throughout the day,
and most Of the offerings found purchasers
at about the above figures. In some cases,
factors asked fraction higher, but most OF

found at l37sc, but we heard Of sales
enough at these figures to warrant their be-
ing used at tie inside rate. A considera-
BILE amount was sold within our quotations,
but at prices which would have been, or
were, refused yesterday, showing the gen
cral tendency in favor Of buyers. In addi-
