FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, April 6.--The market for
foreign exchange In the first hour of busi-
ness today failed to show any increased ac-
tivity. The features included further
advance in Scandinavian exchange and
reichsmarts. Sterling held about steady,
while French exchange continued heavy.
Quotations were: Demand sterling,
4.76 7-16; cables. 4.76 15-16@477, franc
cables, 5.9sh checks. 5.9S& reichs-
marks. 72 "a and 72 u I; lire cables, 6.5Sh /:
checks, $50: Swiss cables, 5.19: checks,

1910; Euilders, 42Ss and 42% rubles,
31.4O and 3l,5O.
The feature of the mid-afternoon mar
liet was further weakness in French eI-
change. At 5.9Si2 for cables and 5.90A
for checks this class Is lower than at any
time for Il number of weeks. The ex
treme low record was COS in 1915. with
out quOtable advances from the early high
level, scandinavian exchange retained
strength. The strength of this exchange,
rs well as of Swedish and Swiss exchange
is due to special transactions with Ger
many. those countries being about the
sole sources of supply to the Teutonic ma
tiOns at the present time. Reichsmarks
shaded a. to 72A and ~ 5-16. The
opening figures were ~ 7s and 72la Ster-
ling held steady at 4.76 7-lGd4.76h for
demand and Ar for cables.

July Above Last Nights Close

NEW YORK April 6.--Business waa
almost at a standstill on the call in the
Cotton Exchange this morning, there being
one transaction each in July, December,
January and March, with only few
each in May and October.
Late in the morning the market waa
moro active The firmness of the late ca<
bes from Liverpool and bullish spot ads
vices from Savannah seemed to he fol-
lowed by covering and prices worked
about to points above last nights clos-
ing figures on July and later deliveries
May was relatively easy, but sold to .
points above last nights close. and the
market showed a generally steady tone
during the noon hour.
Larger exports are expected from AT.
lantc ports in the near future. Local
warehouse stocks have shown n decrease
recently. and it is supposed the cotton Is
being taken out partly for shipment
abroad, and Savannah today reported
clearances of 1854 bales,
The receipts of cotton at the port for
the day we're estimated at 10000 bales,
