yelop decided weakness. AS it is now.
holders don't liquidate, new demand
don't come. bears are cautious about
selling, though all legitimate news is
against the bulls, and when they do put
out lines are quick to cover, hence there
is lack of speculative influences that
are important in effecting sudden
changes. Whatever December liquida-
ton there is to come, the market will
be healthier when over. Chicago stocks
tonight will foot up 10000, 900 bushels,
and the visible Monday is estimated to
increase 100000 bushels. Buying
against puts was the only feature. If
there is no artificial help belated bears
have little to alarm them. AT the same
time it is not generally policy to get the
short selling fever at such declines, af-
ter being bullish at higher prices.
