at to points down on near months
and 4 to points down on more dis
tant positions The halt in the upward
movement of prices was due to disap-
pointment at the course OF Liverpool
and rather more liberal interior
movement than was expected. Liver
pool opened 3-64G4-6id up for futures
and 3-32d better for spots. and later
lost all the advance due to unfounded
rumors that NELL would issue bear
ish circular and to excitement In the
London stock exchange. The weekly
crop movement was considerably
larger than expected. All these In
fuences put a damper on the market'
but prices were sustained by the re-
mort that Hill, Fontaine a. Co. would
shortly issue a very bullish report. The
feeling at the close was easy, as 1t was
feared that Liverpool would be UNI
