then sold up Ac above the inside figure, de-
clined l36c, ruled irregular and closed llSc

felt a little nervous fearing break In prices.
Dry weather, which was the foundation for
yesterdays sharp rally, continues in the north
west. Later advices reported cloudy weather.
and it was the prospects Of rain which Induced
selling. The future of the market will, to a

Pork attracted little attention. Opening orders
were made at ENC decline. and a further rednc-
ton OF 20G125c followed. About the middle of
the session an advance OF 2JD25c was gained.
but finally settled back again 20025c closing
