January opened lower other months opened

Receipts promised to be quite full but the
trade appeared to be undisturbed by this fact,
in fact more confident bulls were OF the opin-
ion that the turning point in the market had
been reached and that Improvement of no little
Importance was probable from now on. Recent

unexplained reason which some suspected was
due 10 private information Of receipts going
to fall on the bear faction was much less

a. 600 against 1900 last year. Unimportant
market changes occurred up to early afternoon
Liverpool was a shade easier. Local sentiment
appeared to be overstalling in favor of long
side for the time being. The perpendicular
drop In receipts has not occurred nor is there
any evidence that 1t will take place in the near
future. 1t Is equally true that there Is no
evidence that receipts are going to be main
tained on their recent heavy scale. All Is I'M
certainty. 1t Is ridiculous TO indulge in proph-
estes as to what may be done by dozens OF
interior towns and the ports a few weeks in
advance so long II is impossible to forecast
for foFty-eight hours ahead the extent Of re-
ceipts at a single receiving point. One sure
thing is that prices are quite low, much
lower than last year that the matter of price
will soon be as important as the matter of re-
ceipts for while receipts may keep up they are
not likely to go ahead and IL they keep up they
will likely give us more than the world actu-
ally reqres, say 10% million bales at most
