LONDON, Jan. 9 (Reuter)— Today's alterations In the Bank of England's oficial, ex- change rates viewed by banking circles as the probable result of pressure by commer- cial Institutions who believed for some time that the spread between buying and selling rates was unjustifiable large.

GREATER NORMALCY

Authoritative quarters stresa that the decision to reduce the spread was in no way connected with yesterday's new regulation regarding the transfer of sterling from resident to non-resident ac- counts.
