started IN with heavy tone this morning.
The starting figure for May was $3.50, or 4c
lower than the closing figure last night. and
dropped off to $50 with rather free offerings
all the way down. The weakness was at
tributed in great part to an increase in east
bound freight rates. which entered into effect
to -day, and which it is claimed had tend
ency to restrict shipments. A good buying
movement set in toward the close of the
regular session, and again on the afternoon
hour on reported good export movement and
an improved feeling IN the stock market.
