The extremes paid during the day exhib.

sessed, not only the qualities proper to that
description, but was moreover evenrunniug,
but still was not ciassed by the buyers any
higher, even for the Liverpool market
Some authorities quoted low middlng at
| 203@2l4, but the majority of buyers put it
2l@2l5, and some at 2I@2l5. The dis
| agreement in the views OF parties may be
partly accounted for by the market being
| weaker toward the close than in the morn
| ing, factors accepting offers which they
would have previously refused, and partly
also by difference in classification.
