nothing unusual for them, they always mar

larger local receipts caused very weak
opening this morning and for the first two
hours of the session the chief features of
the market were weakness and inactivity.
second cables were more disappointing the
first advising of still further decline in Liver
pool, London and Paris. The worlds ship
ments for the week were also considered as
bearish, being only S,0e0 coo bu the larger
portion of which came from the Black Sea
ports.
These Russian shipments were expected to
show a falling off this week The Liyerpool
market was said to have been affected large
ly by favorable news from India rains hav-
ing fallen throughout larger areas than re-
ported Saturday. The news from the Argen-
tine was rather conflicting but on the whole
confirmed previous reports of a short ocrop.
Domestic conditions continue to FbeF as strong
as ever. The visible supply statement to-
day showed much larger decrease than any
body expected, the most sanguine figured on
