London buying and good crop reports
were against this element today as was
the general outlook for business and
the aggressive strength of special
stocks. But they found an effective
instrument in the apprehension due to
the sharp stiffening in the sterling ex-
change market, and the announcement
of gold exports-S350. 600 for tomorrow
and $780, 900 for Tuesday. The special

Prices began TO drop and July got down
TO 6SA by 1870 o'clock. Some cash
business for prompt shipment was re-
ported but its quality was not large
enough to reinforce the bulls. Later
the cash business was reported at

ket began to improve. What con-
tributed chiefly, however, to the
strength with which the market closed
was a renewal of the rumor connect

replied with much hurry in his tone
that his name was ''Jim. and he hadn't

that that question was one that was

would so continue to do for large

heard, from which one might get a
very considerable amount of food for
