same form as previously noted. Supplies are
not abundant. that is of the Carolina crop, and
there does not appear TO be much business
doing except among the small dealers. There
was slightly firmer feeling in the market

remarkably small receipts at the
mills as well as the stock ON
hand. Buyers, however. are inclined
to grumble over valuation and the quality OF
offerings The total sales for the week were
about 900 barrels, on the basis of the following
