PEANUTS-The peanut market re-
mains firm at previous quotations. The
crop of this year is being received in
moderate instalments, but the supply
is not equal to the wants of BUYERS,
and for this reason there is stronger

ously made sellers option this month,
and i'll the face of these large exports
prices have declined. There are many
