day at "a considerably higher figure than
il opened Exchange opened at about
49Gi, for demand and closed at 4.9s,
while cables opened at 4.s7I. and closed
AT 4.?9. This sudden rise was said 10
have been caused by large banking In
terests making efforts 10 obtain exchange
against their participation In the city

inclined to criticise somewhat harshly
THIS heavy buying OF exchange, which

as the agreement between the syndicate
managers and the city IL to the effect
that the city shall get the exchange to
meet its maturities AT 5.03l! the banks
might go on buying heavily sending the
price up somewhat, and yet have a profit
on their transaction with the city.
In spite OF the rise In prices yesterday
foreign exchange men were optimistic
They said that the offerings Of cotton bills
had been the heaviest made since the crop
began TO move, that grain bills were cir
culating in large numbers and that even
some metal bills were coming into the
market London Is still showing n ten
dency to accept finance bills and has even
agred To extend those witch have come
