 Traders were of the opinion the federal reserve here would raise it's rate after the close to-day. This belief was given some Justification by a rise in bill rates of IA to l per cent. Such rise usually pre- cedes a higher rediscount rate.
 Cotton futures rose sharply in early trading, but later lost all of the gain. Grains also reacted after early firmness.

 Sterling continued to decline. It was quoted at $3.S7 in London at the close, against previous close of $40. This drop brought sharp ly higher prices in London where trading was so active that tickers ran a half hour behind the actual market. It had an adverse effect on the American market.
