Short Canadas, trading on very light volume, were generally stronger, up 1040-15 cents in the shorter bonds and holding steady in the 1961 maturities. Prior to Thursday's bill tender, many dealers felt apprehensive that the Bank of Canada might set the rate artificially by bid- ding up for federal treasury bills and incidentally ease the money supply.
