quotations from Liverpool, the holders of

operations, selling them and buying the
distant positions. Although Liverpool
was about what was expected by the
local trade the opening call showed the
presence of liquidating orders for many of
the old bull accounts The reason given
fer their selling is the large stocks in the
uncounted towns and the small increase
in the movement. AS the market touched
