day last the market for the lower grades has
ruled quite firm, and prices are 10015 cents
higher than quoted on thGt day. There hes been

interruption of business by the Christmas holt
days the sales have been somewhat limited For

the market has been almost entirely neglected.

light, and the stock of all grades in receivers
hands is small for the season The weeks trans

81 70 for strained, and 81 80 for strained and No
