expected, and though the covering of
sA3rJs caused a further rise of 4 or 5
cunts on the opening here the traders
s5e med more willing TO sell than to buy,
ai0 the advance was not sustained, clos
Jug prices being but a trihe higher than
yesterday. August opened at Sic, ad-
'oHted 70 S.l9c, reacted TO 8.12c and closed

sa-rai feeling seems to be that the
"5ak snort interest in the summer and
laA months has been pretty well wiped
-t and that with the superb crop out

s.ler. But Mr.. 1nman, who was a seller
me advance to-day, and a buyer at
t5 reaction, continues to talk in a very
s'i.sn strain, declaring that his only fear
mat the rise in prices may be so rapid
