hoefal receipts at the interior towns ex-
ceeded all calculations. The controlling
markets were depressed, and speculation
The local market declined 1-16c with the
tone easy on Tuesday. The largest sales
on the week were made on Thursday morn
lng' with the tone steady and unchanged.
The market afterwards remained steady,
scarce.
