ceipts than were expected, increasing crop
estimates and the suspense created by the
uncertainty of a reduction in acreage for

extremely narrow. After declines were
reported in the futures markets, spots
were offered more freely than during the
past few weeks, and the sales were some
what increased over the previous week.

past few days. The market ranged steady,
quiet and dull during the various narrow
fluctuations in futures, but the local spot
