ammo buyiug for Southern account, though
tho market was restricted by the inter-
rurtlon of the k'elcsraph service by the
storms The receipts az interior towns
wore slightly IN excess ~ the earlier 'sti-
mates. causing some slight reaction, hut
the continued strength OF tho spot demand
ia Europr aud the South is tho foundation
for the strength OF tho market. Tho local
fceling remains hCarish. mainly on eo-
