Of worlds visible supply showed a de-

Corn clearances today aggregated $4,000

ruled strong early under the general i'm
preston that Spain had backed down. but
a report later in the day that Spain had
bought five new war vessels caused
rush TO sell stocks, and Sugar declined
from 126 to 12H5 in the last half hour I'D

celient scalping market. Buy them on
breaks caused by these rumors and sell
