bales, or 10000 more than during
the corresponding week last year Prices de-
clined about points, but the market then
received support from two sources, namely,
the short interest and those who believe in
higher prices later on. There were rumors
that a strong bull party was at work. A
large house was credited with buying very
freely for a rise The close was firm, with
most of the early decline recovered. Sales
