Liverpool advices were weak and our market
took its place In the line with a decline of 80

Realizing was a prominent feature In the To-
cal exchange market and a further decline OF
31i points followed the loss developed on the
opening call.
At times the market showed considerable
resistance and evidently derived support
from the three classes Of buyers-conserya-
tive shorts, Investment buyers aud specula-
ors--operating for a short upward turn.
The carly demand included a large number
