| with prices points lower to points high
| err, there was a general rally of 2a3 points
! stimulated by Wall street buying in good
! part for August delivery, supplemented by
! liberal buying orders from Europe and
| from the South. The latter were attended
| by unsatisfactory reports regarding The
| crop outlook In the afternoon the mar
| ket broke under liquidation of early pur-
! chases started by realizing The market
closed barely steady at a net loss of SQ7
! points.
