kes to-day enjoyed q substantial in
crease In the volume of business and a
strong tone was manifested throughout,
except foe momentary halt in the
early dealings, The distributors of the
transactions showed broadening tend
ency. The chief stimulating influence
upon the general market was deotd-
edly easier tendency in the sterling ex-
change market. directly attributable to
Increased offerings Of cotton, dry cotton
and grain billg. The inference drawn
by the financial commuu nifty at large
was that no further exports Of gold are
likely, as the supply of bills against
grain and other staples is certain, in
the ordinary course at this season of the
year, to increase.
The market closed strong at the best
figures OF the day.
