ternoon of the session there was some little
buoyancy for certificates The strength was
most decided on near months. Although Liver
pool opened with partial advance of god on
arrivals, these reports did not seem to offer any
particular sttmulant, and our opening was
rather tame, with sellers at last nights prices.
Under few efforts on the part of bears to de-
press values prices lost points on old crop,
but the decline was quickly arrested by free
buying orders on the part of a leading operator,
who forced the market back to opening prices,
assisted by continued good demand for spots
Bears were evidently laboring under great
deal OF nervousness and covering became again
the order of the day Under such demand prices
advanced Ia points for summer months from
the lowest sold to-day Some stop orders we're
reached which gave additional cause for raising
values. A small reduction of points leaves us
yet gain of 7GS points on old and about 8
points on new crop since yesterday. Port re-
ceipts foot up to 5642 bales against 2 557 bales
same time last year"
