Influence of Liberal Receipts and
Weakness on the Other
d. II eLo

| Early trades were about nc under closing
figures of yesterday, held until IL o'clock within
&c range, but after that broke of A@5sc, with
&c reaction later. and closing 3sc lower for De
| cember and &c lower for May than yesterday.
There was quite a pressure to realize on the
part of holders and many of the early buyers
let go their holdings, finding the market would
not bull. Some of the traders who have ad-
bered to the long side at the higher prices have,
it is claimed, turned to the selling side.
The weakness was attributed to the continu-
ous liberal receipts and the weakness in the
European markets. Influences true, were
mainly one-sided and favored the short inter-
est, but prices are nearing an export basis, and
while they may eventually 60 lower there is
such a thing as the market becoming oversold.
The majority of traders lean to the short side.
