tinued stringencs of rloney has had
Il bearing effect upon prices, and ear
ly in the week there was decline on
former sales. Later there was q reac-
ton of feeling, accompanied with
small advance, and since there has been
Il stronger tone prevailing. The trade
Of the week has been restricted by vG-
rious causes. We had very tight
money market secondly, there Is 4
sympathetic feeling with the general
