but the strength was subdued. and there was
no evident competition for the class.

interests. The increased volume of
receipts would naturally suggest the inference
that the trade expected better market. but the
early movement did not bear out this impression.
Statesmen quoted the trade equally as slow to
open as last week. with no Indication OF n change
in values. Early sales were light. With the
dealers the market did not exhibit anv marked
