the market was stubborn and lowered
just over that figure up to noon, but
would not go Though. Traders were Of
two minds; some looking for reaction
after the break Of Saturday, and others
feeling that further decline was to be ex-
pected, now that the market has broken
mat erially from high point, and there
IS less buying support. Local receipts
were somewhat heavy compared with
last year and primary receipts were also
larger.
Primary receipts were 1.o22 900 bu.
