lions which were shortly Rfterward lost
sight of-easier cables and "'price cur

than could be distributed before a new
crop. with these things in mind, the
market opened easier, May M9hc
down at 069s @65 ~ 65 Y 966sc. The fac
tors in the easIness were soon ellmina-
ted, however, by the strength Of Liver
pool for spot wheat, under which the
