The market today has been somewhat
Irregular, but generally firm, especially for
some of the industrlals. Cordage has been
the feature making sharp advance appar-
emily under the same manipulation which
has recently advanced Chicago Gas. Sugar
has been somewhat neglected, pending the
result of the Senate investigating COM
mltteesfinal action. There has been some
disposition to raid the grangers on the dis
appointing outlook for earnings. Neverthe-
less they hold wonderfully strong in the
lace of adverse news. This is due not so
much to any demand as to the tenacity of
holders who positively refuse to SELL The
market continues largely professional and
we see but little in the near future beyond
buying on weak days for quick turns.
