This certain advance in the value of the dollar naturally gave rice to a great amount of speculation for a rise in forward exchang's spaculation on warging in exchange. All classes of people began to deal to a considerable extent displaced legitimate business, and one concern, the Netherlands Trading Society, undertook a definite and carefully planned schons of exchange manipula tion with the idea of bornering the exchange market, which, while not entirely successful, caused the most violent Asctuations in exchange 3906, and is said to have yielded that institution a handsome profit.
