The market opened fairly steady, followed In a
few minutes by O decided weakness. Inc
chief disturbing factor 70 holders near tho
opening was heavy receipts NJ tho primary mar
kets. Cautious local speculators were indis-
posed 10 sell short after q weeks decline aggro-
eating I've cents per buehel, and easily per-
