stir into more than moderate activity.
However, the firmness OF the cash mar
lsets IN the northwest and recovery at
Liverpool resulting in Nd advance for
the day imbued the crowd here with z
desire for the buying side. They Accord
ingly pursued a bull policy during the
forenoon, but IN a conservative way
taking moderate quantities. on the soft
spots. English consols openedtb-l6 per
cent higher and made q further y per
cent advance, retaining all Of It at the
close. This peaceful indication was the
balance In the smaller domestic re-
celpts and the closing frmness of the
Liverpool market. It was rumored that
fifty loads Of wheat had been taken at
New York for Europe. Broomhall ca

been doing of late with claims Of an
immense export business, but reported
only the fifty loads rumored early in
the day. All that was capable OF being
confirmed was % boat loads, u of
which were for Spain. December opened

plants OF the poor condition resulting
from the recent damp weather
strengthened corn. Strong Liverpool
cables were also a consideration and
