SITUATION IN MONEY AND EXCHANGE.

Sterling exchange was strong yesterday. with de-
nand rates at 81 s7atdA S. Talk OF gold exports
tomorrow was freely heard. but no dennite an
nouncement was made. The fact that the Bank OF
England did not advance its discount rate ana the
comparative ease with which accommodation was
secured I'm this market created more cheerful
sentiment in financial circles. Reports from chi
cago said that money was moving THIS way WINE
Canadian branch banks received some Sold from
Canada Wall Street would like to lend the BANK
of England $4,000 900 IL the Secretary OF the treas
urv would buy 100000 Government bonds at the
sellers prices but the actual position OF the BANK
does not suggest that gold from here IS needed
The Secretary Of the Treasury has decided TO pay
in advance the January interest on Government
bonds amounting to 100000 but unless the local
situation should become critical the chances 90 not
seem TO favor further bond redemptiOns. The i'm
nroved condition Of the domestic exchanges sug-
costs that the loss In cash suffered by the banks
on Sub-Treasury opera lions will not be Increased
by operations with the interior About three-quar-
ters Of the Government bond interest which VIII
