found reflection in the market was al
most purely professional one for the
outside interest. as shown by orders
through commission houses. was very
small.
Trading proceeded in q very dcsul-
tory manner during the early hours of

conspicuous example. But. as the day
wore on, the market gained both in
activity and strength and embraced an
| increasing list of stocks. The contcm-

| business in cereals had their influence
on the bullish tendency. as did the con-
