more, but later improved and closed ut
the highest of the day. There were some
| reports of bad weather which helped the
| recovery. The monetary troubles seemed
! to be better. AS we have recently
| stated in our circulars, however, the
spot situation is weak here, largely ow-
/ ing TO exchange being insalable, and
therefore there was nothing doing in
spots or f. o. b. There is also a fear of
heavy receipts after this week, or else an
accumulation of interior stocks. Liver
pool closed easy. Port receipts to-day
sc 500, against so, 500 last year. Re-
| ceipts here Tomorrow are estimated at
! from 20. 600 TO 80 600.
