Decline in Foreign Exchange.

Call money ruled at per cent, and
although in the time money market
there was a better demand with lighter
offerings, rates were not materially
changed. Foreign exchange declined in
the forenoon to level almost half
cent below the high figure Of a few
days ago, and its level temporarily pre-
cluded the further engagement OF gold
for shipment, despite the premium
which the Bank Of England has been
offering.
The monetary news in other regards
was favorable. in that various financial
centers seem TO be cooperating with the
Bank of England in the effort to curb the
raging rubber speculation in the London
stock market. The official discount rate
in Amsterdam was advanced / pr cent
to per cent, and the Bank of France
was reported as having decided not to
send gold to London.
OF course, this makes IL clearer that
New York is to be the point Of gold sup
ply, but with so many evidences of in
ternational understanding this is probably
because New York is regarded as the
center which should part with gold at
this time to the extent that the London
joint stock banks may actually need it
for reserve purposes.

Steel the Market Leader.

The last-named stock was particularly
noted as the market leader, and its course
was accompanied by a good deal Of con-
lecture as to the prospects for the estab-
ishment of the stock on a 8 per cent
basis at the quarterly meeting Of the
directors at the end of this month. Apart
from Steel there was no single issue
which calls for special comment.
The change in the appearance Of the
market this week would seem to have q
legitimate, il not entirely adequate ex-
PLANTATION in the glut of gloom which has
obtained in Wall street lately. Revolt
from such surfeit of pessmism as that
with which the stock community has
been RECALLED was more or less inevitable.
even if the revolt should not be pro-
tracted.
The stock market following has es-
sential1y human characteristics and 1t
becomes tired after while of bearish
constructions which produce no results
as the weeks pass
Besides. the developments of the last
few days in the field of general con-
ditions have not been discoura ginE
Their tenor was continued today in
further weakness in wheat and cotton
and in the evidence of the money mar
ket that the April gold export move
ment was not creating stringency.

reapsing into dullness and declining

upturn, developed more strength on a

but when the trading element proceeded
TO put out short lines on the theory
that the retirement of bearish commit
ments had been chiefly responsible for
the improvement shown SO far in the
week the discovery was made that the
demand for stocks had increased.
After some irregularity about the re-
suit of the first hour, in which trading
slackened. the whole market improved,
both in tone and price. and business ex-
banded somewhat. With the exception
Of some of the copper stocks and the
local fractions, the improvement was
quite uniformly manifested throughout
the list. leading influential issues being
