Sterling
After ruling arm on covering demand, the market closed steady. NEW YORK COTTON: An opening demand from abroad absorbed by further realizing. There was a slight reaction later. after which demand broadened, buying becoming quite general" Sales of print-cloth for the week reached 50.000,000 yards. The ten- dency of cotton prices appears to be irregularly higher.
NEW YORK RUBBER: Shipment offerings were light. Continu- ed factory demand was evident. It seems that only very little in- centive would be required for a further advance.
CHICAGO WHEAT: A better feeling is developing owing to re- ports of a large scale buying of Canadian wheat by the British government and a better milling demand
