for consumers. Low freight rates have fur.
nished opportunity for making experimental
shipments to Eastern points, and though the
occasion was awaited of TO moderate extent
still the exports by this avenue were not large
enough to cause any improvement in local val

ing the week, and but for this circumstance the
market WOULD probably nave become yet more
unwieldy and forced values to even lower levels.
