further from being an interesting deal to-day
than it was yesterday, with less, II possible,

May, which was the top quotation Tor the
day; the market dropped on TO 922zc ana tnen
huctuated idly to the close OF the session, with
the latest official trading at 9214(g92ssc, with
the curb market quoted at 92Ac: receipts
were light at all points, with scarcely any
shipping movement, and IL was estimated
that the next visible supply report would dls-
close still another large increase. The year
