Market Tor sterling and continental bills
showed somewhat steadier tone this
morning than was noticeable Yesterday
There was no appreciable change In Quota
tons. but bankers showed less disposition
to make the fractional concessions which

offerings of commercial bills was to be
noted, but there was a somewhat better
demand from remitters. The inquiry for

light volume, as shippers refuse TO accept
current bids.
