The same pas true of sterling and continental exchanges, which went lower.

The stock exchange had to rely upon the Initiative of various speculative | cliques which pushed up their favo- rites. These efforts were energetically opposed by another section of the trad- ing element who thought that the rise had gone far enough for the time be- ing and were working for a reaction.
