The market opened unsettled. with lin
tied inquiry, mostly by purchasers. who
came forward with lower offers, and very
little was done until toward noon, when.
finding that the movement could not be
continued, unless at a reduced range of
prices, factors gave way, and buyers came
forward more freely. but without showing
much spirit. In fact the demand continued
slack throughout the day, and the sales
were consequently confined to the moderate
amount noted above. In exceptional cases,
low middling sold down to 205c and zoe, but
some of the leading buyers doubted if it
could be found even at cote. The weight OF
opinion, however, is in favor of the figures
We have given.
