prices ruling at the late decline. Medium
coarse stock was rather easier The re-
cent siackening in the demand is attrib-
uted to manufacturers having filed their
requirements The prospect Of dearer
money is causing many merchants and
spectators to suspend operations for the

were easily disposed OF at very small
decline. Greasy Nerinos were taken rap
idly by French and American buyers.
Cross-breds were in large supply and as
the quality was fine competition was
spirited. Medium greasy was irregular,
owing to the withdrawal of American
support. Coarse stock was taken Princi-
pally by the home trade at prices on a
level with yesterdays decline Slipes
were largely withdrawn.
