NEW YORK, July 23.-sterling ex-
change was a shade easier today,
syndicate bankers Offering sight bills
at $3.50, less commission. For some
tine the price has been firmly held at
$3.50, plus commission. English bank
erS stated today that contracts to de-
liver cotton bills in September and
October are being freely offered, but
the bankers will not buy because they
are reluctant to pay the rates asked
now, some of them believing that be-
fore the contracts mature the rates
will be &c lower for actual bills.
