( opened the price OF the July option was sl.04tsa

showing-a loss Of 4I9c. from the top price OF
the day and 31sc. as compared with saturdayf

Der 074. This error, together WITH tho
cold weather In the Northwest, made the opening

| throughout the session, closing at U0zablc', the
inside figure being tho lowest OF the day, ana &c

crease In the visible supply assisted the decline.
