mated by this time. If such is the case
the market will be governed by actual
conditions for awhile. with the weather
news the most important factor.
The luwer closing in the American mar
kets yesterday caused some weakness in
Liverpool futures this morning. the final
figures being about 4-6id down. with the
tone barely steady. Spots. however. were
l-led up. with prices reported firm. The
New York market was quite active early
In the session. but broke on large sell
ing orders, December at one time being
!" points lower than yesterday. There
was rally on the bull side later in the
session, and the closing was at an ad-
vance OF TO 10 points. New Orleans closed
barely steady. to points higher than
yesterday.
Many traders believe that the only thing
that kept the American markets from
closing lower today was the fear OF a very
bad bureau report Monday. The July re.
port gave " as the condition of the crop.

The best result obtained by Mr.. Thomp-
