Sterling exchange hung cloae to yesterday's low level, and the cash gain of banka at the sub- treasury on the week was maintained. The uncertainty on the stock exchange seemed wholly due to superficial con dition of the market's own position, much doubt being felt whether, In view of the narrow Interest In the trading prices for many of the leading Issues, had not gone ahead too rapidly. This apparently was the feeling among the majority of active traders this morn ing, and It was encouraged by nfgns of large realising sales In Southern Pa cific, Union 1’acini', St. Paul and one or two other recent popular Issues. These stocks were decidedly heavy during the morning, and further weak ness, for obvious reasons, appeared In Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
