FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, April 8 Up The
British pound faltered today after
three days of rising prices in relation
to the dollar.
Sterling lost only 1 ia cents, how
ever. The smallness of the decline
taken in connection with the recent
improvement led many foreign ex'
change dealers to believe the British
currency might have reached a new
normal" balance.
Buying by shorts who sold heavily
when the pound was gyrating last
month was also mentioned as pos.
sible cause for the stability.

estimates indicating winter wheat
prospects, although subnormal, have
improved the past few months gave
the wheat market a weak start to-
day but the close was strong.
Early losses of 5-8-7-S cent were
wiped out later and in the last hour
net gains of 3-4-7-8 were recorded
at times. Closing prices were id
1-2 cent higher than yesterday, with
May $1.04 1884 and July $1.03

The late rally was associated with
strength in securities and continued
dry weather in the southwest with
no signs of relief. Earlier some re
cent purchasers who have absorbed
increased quantities of loan wheat
that have been coming to market
were on the selling side due to the
crop estimates.

NEW YORK, April 3-(R-Cotton
futures swung forward IS to 16
points today in a fast afternoon adj
vance.
Power for the gains was generated
in Wall Street where price buoyancy
was soon communicated to the cot
ton ring.
But while the financial districts
tipsters saw political implications in
stock market behavior, the advance
in cotton was mainly a sympathetic
move in line with securities.
For one thing, brokers pointed
out, the heaviest sales Of cotton
textiles in months in the last few
days were sufficient to prod buyers.
AS the advance gained momentum,
short covering increased. This was
quickly backed up by demand from
New Orleans and trade accounts,
pushing final prices near the days
tops.
Foreign offerings came in at the
start but there was none. of the
heavy pressure from Bombay which
has characterized recent trade.

placement sales Of cloth at steady
prices but volume tapered consider
ably from earlier this week..
