which at the close were lower for all
European markets. Others claimed that
lt was due TO the confirmation OF the
glowing reports of the condition or the
Argentine crop, whilst by far the most
plausible excuse given seemed TO be gene
raj fatigue on the part OF holders, who
had accumulatiOnS of wheat, taken on
earlier I'm the week. and who. finding that
