an advance in prices therefor, tended to
| stronger feeling in the market for pro duct
early in the day, and material advance
in prices was gained on all leading de-
scriptions. The improvement in price S,
however, tended to enlarge the offerings
for future delivery, and during the latter

again liberal. The demand for better grades
was moderate. Buyers took held slowly
at the opening, but later fair degree OF
