very heavy and steadily declined lc more tneh
reacted &c, ruled easy and closed about ~
lower than yesterday. June sold OF 21sc anu
closed about Nc lower than yesterday. Tne
weakness is attributed to milder weather.

the session, with trading confined largely 70
room operators with 10 range. The Ieellns
developed was, on the whole, a little easier.

lowed by firmer feeling. The decline was re-
covered, and market closed firm.
