and iron and 6200 Chicago Gas At the opening
the market was barely steady, but subsequently,
prices advanced 14@s34 per cent. The improve
lnent was due to the weakening of Sterling Ex-
change, posted rates having been reduced n 10

course, puts end TO the talk about gold exports
and the sellers OF yesterday were the buyers OF to-
day. The demand, however limited. and
when the inquiry from the shorts abated prices

"a loss or 1sGH2 per cent duly active issues.
